Next Man Up, Poetry in Motion

The program, hosted by Donavan LeDean, features a variety of poems exploring themes of mental health, humanity, and social issues. It begins with a piece about kindness toward a homeless man, followed by reflections on overcoming personal struggles through poetry. Other works touch on inspiration and spirituality, a woman’s internal battle, and the importance of positivity and resilience. Additional poems delve into healing and self-discovery, societal critiques and violence, and expressions of love and connection. One poem honors the strength of passionate women, while another explores the concept of perfection. The program concludes with a call to support public radio.
