211: Atticus on Anonymity & Authenticity

Aileen Xu
About this episode
Magical things happen when you put your Art into the world. If you have a passion, a message, or a vision that lights your soul, the anonymous New York Times Bestselling poet Atticus inspires you to share it. Define your authenticity and protect it at all costs. Choose to be seen for the right reasons. Align with your heart and never dull your light.

Atticus, the anonymous New York Times Bestselling author of Love Her Wild, The Dark Between Stars, and The Truth About Magic has taken the world by storm with his beautiful poetry and powerful, simple themes of love and strength of the human spirit. His fourth poetry collection, LVOE, is an exploration of self-love, meditation, meaning, loss, and romance. LVOE is a look forward, a look backward, but most importantly a look inward to the often confusing yet hopeful human experience.
