This week I welcome back my friend, poet and author Marla Taviano, to talk about her latest collection of poems, "Whole".

"Whole" is the third in a series of 3 compliations of poetry exploring Marla's own deconstruction journey, and all the grief, doubt conflict, challenges and healing of this journey. We talk about the creative process both behind "Whole" and the series of poetry books about her journey, and how this shaped Marla herself.

We also explore how creativity has helped Marla in other ways, including some other creative projects she's been involved in, making new things out of old.

And we talk about how creativity as a whole is a healing process which liberates us from the past and brings something new and hopeful into the world.
