GOOD SEEDS: Chris Henrikson & the Street Poets Origin Story

Release Date: 03/22/2023

Description: In our season-ending cross-over episode which first aired on the podcast “I’m No Hero,” Street Poets Founder and former Executive Director Chris Henrikson shares some of the challenges, joys and hard-won wisdom from Street Poets’ early days - in conversation with our former associate director, comedy writer Justin Heimberg (a.k.a. Justy Jones).  Street Poets has come a long way since Chris first began teaching poetry to the incarcerated boys at Camp Fred Miller (Los Angeles County Probation Department) back in 1995, but the core practice of “listening with love” remains at the heart of our work.  We invite you to join us in that practice now as we hear from two original Street Poets family members who helped to plant and nurture the seed of what continues to blossom into a beautiful Grandfather tree here on the streets of our City of Angels.This STREET POETS PODCAST crossover episode"GOOD SEEDS: Chris Henrikson & the Street Poets Origin Story"first aired in 2022 on the I'M NO HERO" podcast and is being re-published by Street Poets Inc. with the blessing & permission of Justin Heimberg.• Hosted by Art Quiros• Produced by Chris Henrikson• Featuring Chris Henrikson with Justin Heimberg (a.k.a.
