This week on Behind Beautiful Things, host Kevin welcomes Aaron, the author of Four Walks in Central Park: A Poetic Guide to the Park. In this deeply personal conversation, Aaron opens up about his journey through childhood depression, the loneliness of the pandemic, and the addiction that followed.

As he shares his story, we follow him through the quiet paths of Central Park—a place that became both his refuge and his teacher. Through poetry, nature, and small moments of stillness, Aaron found a way to heal and rediscover beauty in the world around him.

Join us for an intimate, hopeful conversation about pain, recovery, and the power of walking toward healing—one step, one poem, one day at a time
