In this episode, Max researches NeuroticPoets.com , and Lord Byron shows right up and talks about his own mental health struggles and how poetry has helped him cope.  Apparently, Lord Byron was born with a club foot, and a girl that he was interested in called him, "That lame boy," which was very hurtful. His poetry lays his soul bare. 

His life was layered and brief - he died at 36 years old but left behind a treasure trove of poetry. Max reads:

  • She Walks in Beauty,
  • So We'll Go No More a Roving
  • When We Two Parted
  • There was a Sound of Rivelry by Night

These are reflective, powerful poems, so let us know what you think.  Thanks for listening.
