Friends,
Very excited to delve into questions of the body – political, spiritual, philosophical, paranormal, and more – with literary icon Sinéad Gleeson. Sinéad is an author, editor, broadcaster, and Irish literary stalwart; her book of interconnected essays, Constellations is a bestseller here in Ireland, and about to make its way to America. It’s a captivating book about blood, feminism, injury, ghosts, and health; all orbiting around the question: What does it mean to be a human who is, at least in part, a human body?
Sinéad and I talk
• creating our own anatomy books
• standing up to the Catholic church
• the law of correspondences
• the importance of constellations in the sky and in our bodies
• how medicine is patriarchal
• my ghost experiences and Sinéad’s ghost experiences (and how we self-stigmatize them!)
• how ghosts are like good health
• health for athletes and porn performers
• the exploitation of pain and trauma as currency in the attention economy
• how being in touch with our bodies helps us be compassionate towards others
