Today, we talk with Steve, the poet who didn’t know it.
Steve is one of our listeners who volunteered to be one of our guests. He found the podcast a very helpful resource for his recovery. From prostate cancer.
Like some of you who listen to the podcast, Steve was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at 56 years old. He also had a family history, given that his father and brother had the same diagnosis.
Post-op, Steve lacked information. So, he turned to Google and looked for support groups. There, he found Victoria, Tess, and then us.
With everything that happened to him, he learned how important it is to support others going through this journey. This was the reason why he became a staple in Facebook support groups… and along the way, poetry and words found him.
He used words to share his journey, to express his thoughts, to give life to what he was going through, and ultimately, to inspire others.
As you listen to this episode, you will transcend to a different kind of world - a world of words - where we believe a lot of you will feel as if the words are speaking to you.
It’s magnificent how we get to see that words can heal us - whether that’s through poetry or through frankness and honesty.
Enjoy listening and watch out for some poem reading from Melissa a in our next episodes! ;)
Jo has arranged for poetry reading in Melbourne in March (from the man himself). If you are interested in attending, please see below:
