Olysanya Bey: Poet, community organizer, a mindfulness instructor, and a teaching artist in Hartford.

Olusanya Bey is many things, but he's best known as a “love poet."

But that title comes after much deep, philosophical pondering: What does writing about love do for - and to - him? Must he have a tangible muse? And how does a love of self affect love for others?

Hear Olusanya Bey in Chion’s backyard for this third installment of a series of conversations with poets around a fire.

Listen to the first installment with Zulynette.

Listen to the second installment with Andrew Dean Wright.
