the healing power of literature and poetry

  • Resumen

  • This week I'm joined by my co-author of On Grief. The poet William Bortz and I talk about:

    • The difficulty of putting difficult life experiences into words and the healing power of poetry to help us reflect on what's most important to us.
    • William shares his story of becoming a poet, sharing how he conceptualizes putting complex emotion into words
    • How poetry and writing allows us to have more empathy and how both reading and creating poetry expands our understanding


    Touching on substance abuse, trauma, grief, and loss, this conversation is all about grounding in love, art, and vulnerability. I hope you enjoy our conversation!
