His poetry grapples with ideas of Chassidus and their application in real "messy life," including some very personal reflections. Three collections of his poetry have been published, and his work has found appeal with audiences far outside of Lubavitch but also within Lubavitch itself.

In this episode, we discuss the space that writing poetry fills in the life of a chossid, how even whilst surrounded by the great books there is a space within that deserves honest reflection and even sharing with others.

Yehoshua also shares the narrow path the Chassidic poet must navigate and the important role having a mashpia has played in his work.

Yehoshua's latest collection, "The Concealment of Endless Light," can be purchased on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/2IlJAcQ
