Love, Language and the Healing Power of Nature

Headshot of Alisa Piper
Tasmania's statewide arts festival, Ten Days on the Island 2025 program. The omnipresence of the natural world in the literature of our Tasmanian writers is powerful and resonates with us deeply. Visiting author Ailsa Piper brings her love and respect for this island as well as her insight into the power of language and the craft of memoir to an inspiring conversation. Her evocative 'For Life: A memoir of living, dying – and flying' reflects on the healing power of language, place, ocean swimming and birdlife. See your world with new eyes and celebrate our life-affirming connection to the earth. We invite you to join us for a discussion on the restorative nature of nature itself. ‘Piper’s writing makes you want to dance, sing, soar, be held and be free. I was filled with an urge to both dive into the ocean, and to breathe in the world deeply.’ SUZIE MILLER, AUTHOR OF PRIMA FACIE
