Albert Flynn DeSilver: The Night a Single Line of Poetry Changed Everything

Poet and memoirist Albert Flynn DeSilver traces the path from a failing photography student to a writer with a multi-decade career, built on one night at a poetry reading that redirected his life. He talks about getting sober at 22, why trauma lives in the body rather than the head, and what actually released it. He also breaks down how to learn to see - the sensory attention that feeds good writing - and why the only definition of a writer that matters is someone who writes.
