MADRE: The Transformative Power of Mother | Tedxsydney
In an attempt to grasp the ungraspable, poet Jessica Chapnik Kahn began writing her poetry book MADRE in the midnight hours of early motherhood. In this intimate talk, she invites us to consider ‘mother’ as a powerful force of transformation that lives within all of us. Accompanied by a six-piece vocal ensemble, Jessica shares selected poems from her book, brought to life through soaring choral arrangements.
