In this bonus episode of know thyself , I expand on the conversation of poetry and mental health after hosting 3 poetry nights in 2022.
The questions I had in mind were on the role of poetry in an artist's mental health journey and where the creation process comes from.

Featuring a performance from the first night by a multidisciplinary artist and a young adult who I had an immensely lovely conversation with discussing her journey and convictions about life in Oman. Listen to the episode and Meet Raseel.
