Whether “manic with planets” or using “the rust of mars” to describe anger, emerging poet Luther Kissam V draws on the celestial, the terrestrial and sometimes the mundane to explore mental health. These elements push and pull Kissam V’s deeply personal poems through chaos and calm, meditations and medications and ultimately to balance. For Kissam V, his mood disorder is a gift from the moon, a gravitational force, that fuels exploration of space: mental, physical and spiritual. “Have I Told You About My Superpowers” is a collection of original poems by Luther Kissam V.
Local behavioral health professionals will also provide a discussion about how to prioritize the mental wellness of our community and resources currently available.
