Atticus, the anonymous poet, is sending us love from the shadows and speaking his truth about love and fear, art and creativity, mental health, and his anonymity.
Atticus joins Ruben to discuss the intersections between art, our perceptions of gender, and our unique struggles with mental health/illness. He sheds light on his creative process as a poet, whether he’ll ever show his face to the world, and the exciting collaboration he’s been working on with Ruben.
How does Atticus define love? Love at its core is an exchange. You’re giving and giving, then falling in love with what you’ve given to someone else over time. Love is so much more about safety, vulnerability, and showing up than saying “I love you”.
“There is a beauty in simplicity because people can access it.” - Atticus
