Field Guide for Being Human

I recently sat down with poet Juan Varela to discuss poetry, identity, belonging, and the stories that shape us. This short audio clip offers a glimpse into Juan’s voice and perspective.

Juan’s work reminds us that poetry is not separate from everyday life. It is a way of listening, paying attention, and finding meaning in our shared human experience.

To hear Juan’s poetry and read my introduction to his work, visit the Driftwood Conversations Substack on Friday, July 3, 2026

Field guide for Being Human. People like Juan, who help us see it.
