Episode 80 - MBSing with Steve Nelson - Poetry

Two roads diverged in a wood, and Steve Nelson chose the one that led to us having an awesome conversation about his love of reading, listening to, and writing poetry. We discuss the way his love of the art form kind of snuck up on him in the sense that he was intrigued by his early experiences of poems popping up in unexpected places and enjoyed writing poems for school assignments, but it took starting a blog a few years ago and challenging himself to write and read more poetry to fully develop his appreciation (and skill!). Enjoy his thoughts on the use of poetry in films, some of his favorite poems and poets, and even some of his own works he was kind enough to share with me and the listeners. Notes: Steve's blog, which features a weekly original poem
