Welcome to the scariest and deepest episode yet of The Poetry Vessel Podcast! 🎃👻Your hosts, Nathan and Rachael Hassall, kick off the episode with a funny, spooky intro before diving into the serious side of the season. We celebrate Halloween by reacting to your submitted Halloween poems. We pull two amazing pieces of mythic and gothic poetry from our Mystery Box and use them as a springboard to explore the intense, psychological, and spiritual undercurrents of the season.Join us as we discuss the mysterious, soulful power of Duende and the uneasy feeling of being in the liminal space—the powerful "in-between" that connects us to ancient times. We delve into the terrifying reality of sleep paralysis and follow that thread into a deep-dive on Carl Jung's Shadow concept, examining the complicated historical dynamic between Carl Jung & Freud. For a dash of history, we trace the origins of Halloween from Samhain and revisit the dark past of the Salem Witch Trials.If you love poetry, deep history, and a touch of the macabre, this episode is your perfect Halloween treat. Hit play and join us as we explore the shadows!👉 JOIN OUR POETRY COMMUNITY: https://www.thepoetryvessel.com/signup🎃 SUBMIT YOUR POETRY:https://www.thepoetryvessel.com/submit🎁 MYSTERY BOX POETS

Discover how poetry helps us process love, loss, and grief through bibliotherapy and emotional healing. In this episode of The Poetry Vessel Podcast, hosts Nathan Hassall (Malibu's 5th Poet Laureate) and Rachael Hassall explore the neuroscience of empathy, poetic craft, and how writing poetry activates emotional regions of the brain to help us navigate loss and live poetically.

The clay is so welcoming and soft yet when shaper and dried it becomes less primordial, more mortal. He worked as a human medical test subject during a year of mania, eventually using the study money to buy an apartment and a hundred-dollar car. Soon after, he took a position as weekend manager of a group home, despite being unable to make eye contact during the interview. Out of this experience, he wrote a series of poems about the elderly residents with schizophrenia, which went on to appear in several issues of Grand Street magazine. His work has been described by critic Susan M. Schultz as “documentary surrealism.”📝 "Why So Many MIT Students Are Writing Poetry" by Joshua Bennetthttps://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2025/08/what-mit-students-are-learning-poetry/683856/https://ca.news.yahoo.com/why-many-mit-students-writing-130000314.html🎯 FOLLOW FOR MORE:👉 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/nathanhassall📸 Nathan's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathanhassallpoetry/🌀 The Poetry Vessel Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepoetryvessel📧 Business inquiries: thepoetryvessel@gmail.com🎥 THE FILM GEAR WE USE: https://shorturl.at/j9MTW🙏 ONLINE TIP JAR: https://www.nathanhassall.com/support-our-journey —FTC DISCLAIMER:Some of the links above may be affiliate links, which means that if you click on them I may receive a small commission.
