Episode 43: Carly Marie DeMento

A life in the creative arts is not an easy one, nor is it easy to avoid if you're an artist at heart. For poet Carly Marie DeMento, her creative life is more intentional these days. In this week's episode of The Written Scene, Carly discusses the neurobiology of wisdom, how a life of different experiences (for better or worse) makes for a better writer, how being a poet is like being in a long conversation with poets from the past, what a pretzel goth is, how different people in different non-creative professions express themselves through poetry, the ways beginner artists still make beautiful art, her obsession with her meat poem, and so much more.
