Quote of the Pod: "Poetry is a means for us to have deeper conversations. It is a means for us to go on deeper spiritual journeys. Different people have different vehicles, but for me poetry is a journey towards finding tools to find our authentic voice. It is a means to find tools for speaking from the heart..."
