Today's podcast will be featuring a poem by Jacob Saenz, “Evolution of My Block.” As I read this poem, I want you to think about the pathway to gangs or other peer pressure induced situations. Why do you think our society glamorizes violence and gangs? Are you working against this in your family and circle of influence? Think about how people get recruited into gangs and what could we do to fight it in our cities? Keep these ideas in mind as I read. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/writingintotheday/support

In this episode, after several takes (haha), Leslieann talks about how our mindset affects our physical health, how we can lean into the fear and get curious about it – what lies there beneath the fear? What can we learn about ourselves when we embrace our fear and ask it questions like we would a new friend? She also invites us to take time to pause, take inventory of what really matters to us, and to extend compassion, kindness and care for others. // Hafiz's poem “That Lamp That Needs No Oil” from The Gift and Jacob Saenz's poems “Evolution of my Block” from The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-hop // California retreat (Aug 5-9, 2020) info: suryagian.com/petaluma-retreat (YES!

Coleridge is the most underrated of Romantic poets, but that's not to say he's not worth reading. Published poet Jacob Saenz talks to me about his work, and why he believes it's important to read poetry.
