I'm thrilled to be joined in this episode by Renzo del Castillo, a poet, author, and healthcare executive, to discuss his poetry collection 'Still' and the themes it encapsulates, including immigration, love, and personal growth.
Renzo shares his journey from a corporate world to finding solace in poetry, emphasizing the importance of vulnerability, creativity, and self-discovery. The conversation also touches on the influence of poets like Neruda, Bukowski, and Szymborska.
Renzo's personal stories about his family and lessons from his late father underline the significance of love, sacrifice, and living in the present. From poetry recommendations to intimate anecdotes, this episode serves as an inspirational guide for us all to embrace our creative impulses and find purpose in our journeys.
