14. The Practice of Poetry with E. A. Toles

Join Luxa as she speaks with poet and magician, E.A. Toles about where the practice of writing poetry intersects with spirituality, sexuality and the dream of being truly understood. EA shares some of his thoughts about the role of the artist as an artisan- one who works for the purpose of producing something useful or perhaps helpful to others as well as reading a piece he wrote as part of The Green Mushroom working. Also, Luxa rants about an underpants company.
