Hello Creatives,Let's drift into a world of romantic poetry as we celebrate Pride Month with part two of Lord Byron's most beautiful verses. This special episode invites you to experience the yearning, heartbreak, and profound beauty captured by one of history's most renowned queer poets.Each poem reveals different facets of love, loss, and longing through language that remains powerfully moving and wonderfully inspirational centuries later.This episode features a wonderful collaboration with Ruth Toynton, singer-songwriter and founder of the Green Room, a peer-to-peer support group for musicians. Her passion for building supportive, creative communities mirrors our commitment to fostering connection, well-being, and good sleep among actors, writers, and other creatives. Join The Green Room, Hull on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/groups/1605537260216846/ I would also like to take a moment to extend heartfelt Pride Month wishes.
