Using Poetry to Navigate Mental Health with Fable the Poet
This week's offering is a conversation I recently shared with Fable the Poet! Fable is Grand Rapids (MI) poet laureate, founder of The Diatribe organization, as well as one of the initiators of The Drunken Retort here in West Michigan. In this episode we talk about the power of poetry from both writer and listeners perspective, as well as his community engagement projects and interacting with the youth through the written word. This was a real treat to have an hour of his time so I trust that those of you listening will enjoy.
