This episode illuminates the inspiring origin story of Street Poets' former Artistic Director, poet/author and Minister of Metaphor, Barbara Fant. Since her early days growing up in Youngstown, Ohio, Barbara has followed her calling – the transformational practice of poetry – through hardship and healing, darkness and light, to the cafe open-mics of Columbus to West Africa to our City of Angels and beyond. Barbara's journey is a celebration of the power of the Word. It's a real-life story of faith and resilience and the kind of hard-earned wisdom so desperately needed in our world today.
