In this unforgettable live episode of Your Trauma Talks, hosted by Rah “MrTraumaTalks” and joined by the beautiful and talented Nicole Cornetti, we give the spotlight to Dr. Aaron Poochigian, a distinguished poet, classicist, and translator whose voice has reshaped the contemporary literary landscape.
With a PhD in Classics from the University of Minnesota and an MFA in Poetry from Columbia University, Aaron’s work bridges ancient wisdom and modern struggle, weaving themes of faith, identity, and redemption into poetry that speaks directly to the human soul.
Aaron opens up with raw honesty about his courageous battle with cocaine addiction, a journey through darkness that ultimately became a testament to resilience, recovery, and transformation. His acclaimed collections, including American Divine and Manhattanite, reflect this lived experience and offer readers and listeners alike a profound reminder of the power of art to heal.
From the pages of The Paris Review, POETRY, and Best American Poetry to the intimate reflections on Central Park that anchor his writing, Aaron’s story is one of survival, reinvention, and hope.
Together, Rah, Nicole, and Dr. Aaron create a powerful dialogue about addiction, recovery, and the redemptive force of creativity. This special episode will leave you inspired and transformed.
