Mandy Henderson on the Poetry of Katherine Mansfield Tea. Toast. & Trivia.

S6 E7: Mandy Henderson on the Poetry of Katherine Mansfield The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.” Katherine Mansfield Welcome to Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you for listening in. I am your host, Rebecca Budd, and I look forward to sharing this moment with you. Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) was a highly acclaimed New Zealand writer and poet. Born in Wellington, New Zealand October 14, 1888, she is regarded as one of the most influential modernist short story writers of her time. Mansfield’s poetic sensibility and expert craftsmanship have secured her a lasting place in literary history. Katherine’s writings are known for their vivid imagery, introspective themes, and exploration of the complexities of human emotions. Her remarkable ability to capture the subtle nuances of everyday life and convey them through delicate and lyrical language sets her apart. Despite her untimely death at the age of 34, Mansfield’s legacy as a pioneering writer continues to resonate in the literary world. Today, I am traveling to New Zealand to meet up with my blogger friend, Mandy Henderson to discuss the remarkable life and work of Katherine Mansfield. I invite you to put the kettle on and join the conversation on Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you, Mandy, for sharing the life and poetry of Katherine Mansfield. As Katherine wrote many years ago, “The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.”  Today we have shared the pleasure of reading her poetry, together. Dear listeners, thank you for joining Mandy and me on Tea Toast & Trivia and celebrating the life and work of Katherine Mansfield.
