Creating From Chaos | Chelsea Labate, Poet and Songwriter

Chelsea Labate is an incredibly gifted and giving songwriter and poet. Even before the pandemic, she began experiencing psychotic episodes that required hospitalization. They eventually compelled her to sell her Asheville home and move in with her parents in Florida. She also has made an array of music and poetry inspired and ignited by her struggles. Now back in Asheville, Labate talks with host Matt Peiken about how her episodes have fed her creativity and performs some of her newer work.
