    <description>Welcome to The Poet Delayed Podcast!
This podcast is a space for real, honest, and meaningful conversation. I explore poetry, literature, healing, relationships, and the deep importance of connection—not just with others, but also with ourselves. While we talk about the beauty and significance of relationships, we also dive into the vital act of staying true to who we are. It’s easy to lose ourselves in the world and in the connections we cherish, but this space is a reminder that being in relationship with others should never mean abandoning ourselves.
Whether I’m sharing my own journey or talking with guests, my goal is to create a space where stories and experiences bring us closer together. I believe that through sharing, we find understanding, and through connection, we find a sense of belonging.
"May I be I is the only prayer - not may I be great or good or beautiful or wise or strong." - E.E. Cummings

  <itunes:subtitle>In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Ali Talbot to explore the healing power of creativity and the importance of sharing our creative work with others. We talk about how the art we make to heal ourselves can also resonate with and support those around us—reminding us that creation is not only personal but deeply communal.

We also introduce Torchlight, a new monthly program we’ve launched to bring people together through art, music, and poetry. Each month, we invite local artists, musicians, and writers to share their work, with occasional open mic nights to encourage participation from the community. It’s all about connection, creativity, and creating space for shared expression.

Tune in for a conversation about why what we make matters—and how it can light the way for others.</itunes:subtitle>
