This week on Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois continues his month-long celebration of other creatives who are using their personal outlets to show you that you are not alone. Poet Anastasia Lindsey has felt this ever since she discovered poetry and started writing her own. This has led her to share more work as a public speaker, continue guesting on other podcasts to increase the range of her mission statement, and preparing her first book of poems for purchase at all retailers available.
