“My own background in physics has taught me wonder. As a poet, we deal mostly in metaphors and a metaphor says that this is that - that's what equations do too. Equations say that mass is energy. Just being able to throw yourself at the universe and find out everything you can is a great background for a scientist or for an artist.”In this episode, Erin Bow discusses the lightning bolt of inspiration and balancing writing, teaching and science translation. She discusses:1:57 | Her advice for young writers2:56 | Writing the books that “young me really needed to read,” including her Governor General’s Award-winning book Stand on the Sky7:06 | Drawing lines about which stories to write8:56 | Getting kids on their feet during school visits12:51 | How studying physics has enriched her artistic practice…and the mystery of where gold comes fromGuest Bio: Erin Bow is an award-winning poet and novelist, whose honors include the TD Canadian Children’s Literature Award, the CBC Literary Award for poetry, and a Governor General’s Award. Though trained as a physicist, Erin Bow is now a poet and children’s writer, working out of her garden shed in Kitchener, Ontario. She is the author of five novels for young adults: The fantasies Plain Kate and Sorrow’s Knot, and the genre-bending duology, The Scorpion Rules, and The Swan Riders, and Stand on the Sky.

Tune in to hear the big ideas and practical tips they take into their classrooms. Take their insights into your own class or craft.Credits:Parallel Careers is produced by Claire Tacon, in partnership with The New Quarterly Magazine.
