This podcast episode explores, as the title suggests, the unseen energy of a poem; in other words, all of the aspects of writing a poem--the inspiration, the emotions, the experiences--that a poem carries within itself when it is born into the world. The conversation is based on the idea that no person has only one story, and that poetry can be a medium for cultivating a life that is good and feels like a place where you belong.  The conversation is shared with poet Esther Kamkar.
