Podcast Overview

It’s a Poetic Life is a podcast about creativity, attention, presence, and what it means to live more fully in an increasingly distracted world. Hosted by award-winning poet, author, educator, and publisher Enzo Silon Surin, each episode explores the poetic life as a way of being—one rooted in curiosity, reflection, community, and the courage to remain human. Through conversations with writers, artists, educators, cultural workers, and thoughtful observers of the world, the podcast examines the forces that shape our lives and the stories we tell about them. Together, these conversations move beyond craft to explore creativity, belonging, identity, memory, love, justice, and the everyday practices that help us make meaning. Whether discussing poetry, culture, teaching, relationships, or the creative process, It’s a Poetic Life invites listeners into a slower room to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Because the poetic life is not reserved for poets. It belongs to anyone willing to pay attention. In practice, not perfection.
