The Written Scene

Author and retired lawyer Julie Potiker never planned to write a book but eventually learned a powerful lesson by saying yes to something she never planned.

In this episode of The Written Scene, Julie discusses how her writing path was heavily carved by medical concerns, consuming enough knowledge to want to write a book about it, needing evidence-based information in life, how the arts and nature positively interact with the brain, the random ideas about what a poetry book should be, how her poetry is becoming less mindful and more poetic, being a theater kid, when financial stability scares away a career in the arts, the ways the education system can and should be flexible, how the writing taught in law school plays a role in creative writing, what SNAP is and how to use it as a creative person, the power of pets and the poems they inspire, and much more.
