Hannah Quinn is someone you can chat with about television and film for hours and it would only seem like minutes. Her work experience in the industry is vast but what made my Skype interview with Hannah such a pleasure was her great sense of humor and easygoing demeanor. She was at home in Ireland taking a short break from directing a new project in Manchester. We're in a time where more women directors like Hannah are shining their light like never before. Their visual perspective is unique and powerful and Hannah's directorial work in several episodes (4, 5 and 6) of the hit Netflix series, The Stranger, brought me here.

IN MY SOUL'S GARDEN
by lucy sharvet
In my soul's garden
There's intoxicating honeysuckle & jasmine.
Perpetual blue sky.
A waterfall whose mist bends light,
Its sound lulls me to sleep.
Birdsong wakes me.
It is a tonic to my soul.
I hear a soft hum of fluttering wings,
And there before me
A hummingbird floating in midair.
Watching me, guarding me.
Its exquisite iridescent coat glistens
In the sun.
In my soul's garden,
There is no sorrow, no pain.
Only beauty all around me.
I visit often.
