160 – Vishal Nanda on Poetry and Caring for Others and their Battles Shooting it RAW with Ran Elfassy

The poets are in the house! Big welcome to Vishal Nanda and much gratitude for his energy and passion.

I made it out to his place overlooking the water, Lamma Island, and the container ships. Sitting at his table, we talked poetry, what it is to be a creative spirit in an urban, capitalist city like Hong Kong, and how he's an ambassador breaking down barriers around mental health and bipolar disorder.

So much goodness from a man who clearly lives the values of being kind and showing compassion... Be it for Kanye, your neighbour or yourself.

Listen in and catch Vishal's effortlessly great and moving reading. Oh, and get his book.
