FRIENDS. This is the last episode of Poetic Beings....maybe not forever, but at least for a while.I'm going to be giving more dedicated time and energy to Man;Kind poddy (so go over there if you want to keep hearing my voice) - all links at leadbystory.com.au/mankindpodcast. But, THIS is a special episode to finish my season of 'poems for a pandemic'. My mate Dylan gets real and shares openly and vulnerably about his experience of the pandemic in relation to his mental health, as well as giving us a poem he wrote. Our conversation is a window into some of the challenges that many people were experiencing prior to COVID-19 - and maybe it could be a wake-up call to us, to look out for people in our context, who could use some connection. Thanks so much for listening to Poetic Beings! I may not be recording any new episodes now, but there's a solid back-log there, so please share with your friends, family, English teachers, strange poet friends etc. You can buy the Poetic Beings book here: https://www.willsmall.com.au/store/p4/poeticbeingsbook.html
