Then, poet and therapist Sharon Charde tells us about the poetry program she founded for incarcerated girls.

There’s nothing more soothing than digging in the dirt and planting food for body and soul, especially in these fraught times. The deep healing afforded by gardening is one of the themes of Catie Marron’s gorgeously illustrated book, Becoming A Gardener. Another is how the author was inspired by writers like Jamaica Kincaid and Alexander Pope as she planned and planted her new garden in Connecticut. Marron has been a guest on Writer’s Voice before, to talk about her book about City Squares: Eighteen Writers on the Spirit and Significance of Squares Around the World. She’s also the author of City Parks: Public Spaces, Private Thoughts. Becoming A Gardener combines personal reflection and practical advice to gladden the heart of all gardeners–aspiring, novice or master. Hear Catie Marron reading from Becoming A Gardener Sharon Charde When Sharon Charde lost her teenage son to a terrible accident, she fell into years of unremitting grief. Then she was given the opportunity to create a poetry writing program for delinquent teenaged girls, at a facility in Connecticut called Touchstone. It ignited a passion in her for pushing their voices out into the world—and gave her a new sense of purpose that enabled her to let go of the mourning that had overwhelmed her. Her memoir brings together her own story, told with searing honesty, and those of her students, who are able to forge new stories for themselves through poetry. Sharon Charde is a retired therapist and a poet. She’s written several previous poetry collections and one that is forthcoming next year.

Catie Marron, BECOMING A GARDENER & Sharon Charde, I AM NOT A JUVENILE DELINQUENT

 My guest today is Sharon Charde. Sharon is a poet, teacher and author, who recently published a heartfelt, beautifully written book “I Am Not A Juvenile Delinquent: How Poetry Changed a Group of At Risk Young Women”. For over a decade Sharon volunteered as a poetry teacher at a residential treatment facility for delinquent girls. Her initial intention was to reach out to these young women and have them tell their stories, but what happened was that Sharon fell in love with the girls, and as we know about true love… love takes us places we don’t expect to go! This book is a testament that love heals, expands, empowers and transforms us.  Sharon compassionately weaves the story of her personal grief and suffering, seamlessly into the stories of the girls’ grief and suffering. She facilitated and witnessed the girls pull the dark shadows from the corner of their souls, bring them into the light, transforming pain and suffering into poetry. Sharon’s authentic dedication to the girls, their lives, along with her tenacity to have their stories heard is priceless. The girls’ courage and realness and the profound power of poetry taught Sharon how to carry her own grief differently, making room for more love than pain.  Check out the show notes for links to Sharon’s website, a promotional video highlighting the voices of these young women, resources she mentioned, along with 2 independent book stores that carry her book.  With the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I encourage you to watch a  12 minute video on YouTube called "Boatlift". My previous  podcast guest Rick Velleu  co-directed this short film with his business partner Eddie Rosenstein. It's a poignant, inspiring account of resilience and the human spirit. Enjoy the podcast!      Links:   www.sharoncharde.com Oblong Books Partners Village Store Teen Voices Magazine Ellen Bass Hotchkiss "I Am Not A Juvenile Delinquent" - video by Jon Baskin
