Watch the POETRY movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glnV1DMyRW8

The conversation centered on Alexander Lizardo Peterson's poem "Body for Who," which was adapted into a poetry film by WILDsound. Alexander shared that the poem's inspiration came from his lifelong struggles with body image, influenced by cultural expectations and social media standards, but that perspective shifted positively after the birth of his son. He discussed his journey with writing, including his initial dislike of poetry, his evolution through different college majors, and how his wife's encouragement led him to pursue English and writing. Alexander reflected on his personal growth, the importance of his family's support, and his aspirations to publish a poetry book and write screenplays. The discussion also touched on the emotional experience of parenthood and the desire to cherish each moment with his young son.
