In this episode, we will be discussing the powerful memoir ‘When Breath Becomes Air’ by Paul Kalanithi, reflecting on the interconnecting emotions of joy and grief as well as the ‘silent’ grief experienced by parents when their children decide to emigrate. Additionally, we will provide a special acknowledgment to Transition Year Students at Firsthouse Community College for the wonderful presentation of their annual show.Joining us is Féilim James, a poet, playwright, and prose writer from Dublin, Ireland, whose work has appeared in New Irish Writing, Acumen, and Abridged, among others. He serves as the editor of Tintreach: The Smashing Times Arts and Literary Journal, and will be sharing details on our upcoming edition as well as an open call for submissions set to begin in May.
