Poetry is medicine which I prescribe and share with my therapy clients. My ‘poetic voice’ emerged out of massive loss, a way of metabolizing experience, encountering self, meeting archetypal energy. In poetry and practice, a healing, integrating emergent third often manifests. Poetry is an invitation. We artists have a response-ability to speak into the spirit of the times, to open up possibility and perspective--a portal into the inner landscape in which all external change must seed.
