Megha Raos poems about love and life are perfect for a confusion-ridden pandemic time, as she uses words to address her own anxiety and comfort readers

Megha Rao has been performing spoken word poetry for five years
Megha Rao's podcast, Poems to calm down to, in collaboration with Kommune does help you calm down (tried and tested). It has life and love advice, that seems too sage-like to come from a poet who is just 23, but it helps see life's moments from a new perspective. In Pauses, she says, "My mother once told me that the best way to help yourself, was to listen"; in Letters to Friends, she recounts, "Not everyone was going to like you"; and in Love Lessons, she says of her grandparents, "Their love was a teenager's eye roll, not deserving of a drum roll".
