They ponder whether these creative arts are fading in our tech-driven world and explore their undeniable benefits for mental well-being.
Joseph Fasano shares his journey as a writer and educator, emphasizing how poetry can breathe life into classrooms and why physical books hold a special charm over digital screens. Dr. Fasano sheds light on how disengagement from these activities can affect mental health, stressing the importance of staying connected through the arts.
