My guest on this episode is author and journalist Kat Lister (Sunday Times Magazine, Vice, Vogue). Her first book - The Elements: A Memoir of Grief, Loss and Transformation will be published by Icon Books in September 2021. It is a "powerful investigation of grief and loss" framed around her experiences of becoming a widow in her mid-thirties. Part exploration of grief theories and cultural attitudes towards death, part memoir, "What emerges is an idea of grieving as an elemental change". Last year I spoke to Kat about the loss of her husband in August 2018, writer and editor Pat Long, as we talked about anticipatory grief in the face of a terminal diagnosis, and the very physical manifestations of loss on the female body.
