Poet Nathaniel Blackhelm joins Vince to discuss his latest collection, Lothario—a bold and reflective work that navigates the terrain of midlife, identity, and the surreal beauty of being human.
In this conversation, we unpack the archetype of the Lothario, the friction between cultural identities, and the role of lust, humor, and self-worth in shaping how we live and love.
Blackhelm speaks candidly about the absurdity of modern existence, the challenge of curating meaning through poetry, and the influence of Shakespeare in his work.
This episode is a deep dive into artistic freedom, aging with vitality, and how metaphor helps us survive the chaos.
