Poetry and Mental Health

Hello.

I have just written a blog on Poetry and Mental Health for the literary magazine Under the Fable. 

I'd love for it to get more than the usual 14 views, they are a small magazine and could use some exposure. 

More over, I'm quite proud of the piece and would like to know what others think.

It can be found here.

medium.com is awful for formatting but the words should speak for themselves. 

Thanks.

stu,

thank you for writing this.
we suffer the same maladies. all artists are hyper-sensitive to the turmoil happening all around the everything, and through our compulsion to create we reach out in our condition to discover others. it's the cycle of 'read, be read, connect, reconnect' in love, in hate, forever and ever amen.

i'll be sharing this.

This is a really good article Stu, and thank you for introducing me to Under the Fable, they look like a very promising young magazine!

People tread as lightly as possible around mental health issues and it is great to see you openly discussing this sensitive area. Thank you.
