Some of you might hear the word poetry and immediately go to that stereotypical voice convincing you poetry is all bore and no use for anything.

Zander is the first person who convinced me otherwise on his first interview. He started with sharing his second piece of poem called "Snakeskin Boots," which has an interesting story behind it, but we ended up talking about how writing could be an outlet in which one could use to express emotions and deal with mental health.

This is one of the most in-depth conversation I've collected since starting this podcast, and I appreciate Zander's honesty and his stories. This is the last of this poetry series of the 2022-2023 school year, and we'll come back with more pieces of writing in the coming year. Stay tuned!
