  • IF YOU WERE THE RIVER
    Mar 13 2026

    This week on The Deep Shore—If You Were The River. This poem was written at the creek during the years I lived in a community in the Huon Valley in Southern Tasmania. I wrote many poems inspired by this little river and my growing relationship to it. This one has always remained a simple but precious reminder of how to tend gently to grief and nature, and how all things are a mirror for us, and perhaps we are a mirror for them too.

    This episode includes a recording of the Common Eastern Froglet, recorded on the Tarn Shelf in Mount Field in February. This is a tiny species of frog and grows up to only 3cm in length. They might be small, but their song is mighty and dominates the alpine landscape. I love hearing their familiar call when I'm hiking and I hope you like it too.

    Words by Helena Turner.

    Music by Cat Bednarski and the Common Eastern Froglets.

  • ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
    Jan 22 2026

    This week on The Deep Shore—All The Time In The World. This poem was written recently, in November 2025. It was the last day of a wilderness rite of passage program in Southern Tasmania that I facilitated with my dear friend Cat, whose flutes feature as the intro/outro to this podcast.

    I wrote this poem to welcome back the brave humans who spent 4 days and 4 nights alone in the wilderness on a journey of remembering their true nature. It speaks to anyone who has traversed the many wildernesses that a life can encounter — grief, loss, pain, trauma, aloneness, depression and all other myriad ways we become unmoored from a sense of belonging — and the power of the force that brings us back to life again and again. What is that?

    May you find solace in the reminder that you are welcomed here, Old One, and that someone or something is always looking back at you with eyes of love and recognition.

    Words by Helena Turner.

    Music by Cat Bednarski.

  • I YEARN TO BE WATER
    Jul 27 2025

    This week on The Deep Shore, I yearn to be water. This poem was written in a haven-of-a-home in Deep Bay, Southern Tasmania.

    This poem is a love song to the uncontained yet steady power of the natural world, and how the elements we are in relationship with can represent traits that we as humans can long to feel, though at times feel so unattainable to embody in their purity and ancient origin.

    How do we belong among these elements? Can we be in conversation with the other-than-human and hear the clarity of these voices in their own essence and simplicity?

    Words by Helena Turner.

    Music by Cat Bednarski.
