Welcome to Twice 5 Miles Radio. I’m your host James Navé. Today, please welcome poet, activist, and storyteller Robert McDowell to the microphone. You’ll get the sense you’re eavesdropping when you listen to this conversation. Who are you? Robert and I dive into the role writers and poets play in modern culture. Robert points out that Emily Dickinson tells us to tell the truth and tell it slant. Robert suggests the best way to understand people is to get close, listen, and ask questions. Robert and I discuss how poetry can help us discover how to answer the question who are you? Robert tells us that Emily Dickinson gives us some clues that will support your search.
Robert is known for his dynamic talks, transformative keynote addresses, and stimulating workshops that awaken the visionary doer in each of us, inspiring deeper listening and evolving consciousness of life’s diverse spectrum. Robert’s compassionate story-and-poem–telling clears obstacles, opens windows, and encourages more effective communication in personal relationships and at the office.
