Stephen Jenkinson is a former palliative care worker, cultural activist, and master storyteller. He is the author of countless books including “Reckoning”, “A Generation’s worth”, and the award-winning “Die Wise”. He is also the co-founder of the “Nights of Grief and Mystery” a musical storytelling ceremony along with Canadian singer/songwriter Gregory Hoskins.
