Nikki & Brie are very excited to welcome this week’s special guest, the mysterious poet Atticus. Brie kicks the episode off by telling the unexpected way she discovered his work, sharing that connection to his work and Nikki’s deep love of poetry that started as a child in the pages of Winnie the Pooh and Where the Sidewalk Ends, leading her to write her own poetry. He’s the creative force responsible for song lyrics, tattoos, inspiring Instagram posts, and New York Times best-sellers; he is Atticus. From an unknown location, the enigmatic poet joins The Bellas to talk about his upcoming book of poems, LVOE, his connection to Paris, what inspires him, how wine shapes his words, getting engaged in a wildly romantic way, the reward for embracing vulnerability, and how a famous actor from Hollywood gave him the nudge he needed to share his gift with the world. Atticus cherishes his ability to experience life without being recognized, leading to an interesting conversation about fame, recognition, privacy, and how that influences his work. This conversion leads to a strong vibe with a lot of creative ideas flying around involving wine, travel, poems, and Bellas!
