Description
Poet and educator from Toronto, Kenya, Kutch and Gujrat, Sheniz Janmohamed talks about how we receive reminders as travelers on the path of life and how these reminders - whether we perceive them as beautiful or ugly - can bring us wholeness. We talk about her most recent collection of poetry, published by Mawenzi House: Reminders on the Path (2021).
“What do I need to hold onto and what’s holding me down? What are the inheritances that I need to release, that are no longer serving me as I move forward my own path? And also, with that, there’s this disorientation because once you’ve released those habits, ideas, beliefs, ways of seeing the world, you suddenly have to find your own orientation, so you can get lost, you can veer off a path [but] you can come back to a path, you have to remake a path.” - Sheniz Janmohamed
