Hey what’s up you lovely people? I took a break from podcasting and posting over the weekend which topped up my tanks so that I can have the pleasure of letting you know that Episode 71 of the Know Yourself Podcast has now dropped which is an interview with Poet and author Dan Burton @danburton10 😁 . I met Dan at the start of October at Worcester Litfest & Fringe in association with mental health awareness week. I was invited by a mutual friend and I have to say I didn’t regret it. Dan was one of many talented poets performing sets which included material from their own work and other poets too. Dan’s poetry had a particular mental health background that drew me in and made me feel what he was feeling. . We spoke weeks later and organised an interview in person which I always love because it’s a great excuse to eat biscuits and gulp down some warm coffee. Seriously though it was a pleasure to chop it up with Dan though because the guy is so easy to talk to and has such a passion for poetry and writing. . We spoke about what to do if you are thinking about writing poetry but not sure where to start, how to get over writers block, how poetry is a great way of developing and displaying empathy, and so much more. The people that know Dan often talk about his kindness, authenticity, and skills as a poet and writer. I’m proud that I had him on the show and hope that you love the episode ☺️
