Hollywood megastar Sir Patrick Stewart has passed way on Wednesday, October 28, at the age of 86. Our third and final submission in the ‘Living With It’ series for World Mental Health Month, comes from award winning writer, socially engaged artist and author of participatory poetry collection Natural Wonder Ruthie Collins who writes about how connecting to nature can help our mental health inspired by her interactive project Grow Happy. The second essay in our World Mental Health Month series comes from clinical psychologist @gayathri_arun09 who explores healing in the aftermath of almost losing a loved one. LØLØ establishes herself a pop powerhouse with a sold-out date at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom ending the North American run of her The God Forbid A Girl Goes On Tour just right. Aspiring writer and poet Melanie Lobo pens our first guest essay for World Mental Health Month around the theme “Living With It.” Lyrical Muse is excited to announce our next workshop, Keeping Up With Monologues, led by poet,author and theatre artist S. Sree Navya. With NaNoWriMo coming in November and more writing challenges coming your way courtesy of Lyrical Muse, we take a look back at the first ever writing club we held back in April for NaPoWriMo. We are proud to present ‘A Symphony of Warm Feelings,’ a poetry collection written but Arundathy Bharadwaj. To mark World Mental Health Day, we asked our readers to give us a glimpse of their safe space. Swipe to read their submissions!
