I use poetry as a way of being more present to myself and my life.
What if poetry could be your gateway to a more connected and meaningful life? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with James Crews, a poet and editor renowned for his poetry anthologies. Crews opens up about how poetry isn't just an art form but a spiritual practice that can help us connect more deeply with ourselves and the world around us.
He shares personal stories of how his struggles with addiction and anxiety led him to discover the healing power of poetry. Crews discusses how writing can capture both sorrow and joy, making it a powerful tool for navigating life's ups and downs. He emphasizes the importance of nurturing our inner lives, practicing self-compassion, and finding joy in ordinary moments.
Fear, he notes, is a constant companion in any creative journey, but embracing vulnerability and curiosity can lead to profound personal growth. Whether you're a seasoned poet or someone looking for new ways to enrich your life, this episode offers valuable insights into how creativity can be a path to deeper understanding and connection.
