“‘Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” ― Robert Frost. For centuries, poets have espoused the therapeutic values of poetry. The discipline of poetry therapy grew from this intuitive initial awareness of the medium’s potential healing power.
‘The Personal is Poetic’ panel event will dive deep into the history and foundations of poetry therapy, its models, and its modern usages. Each panelist will provide their own perspectives and experiences on the idea of poetry as a therapeutic tool. Join us on Wednesday, April 3 at 3PM in the Writing Center (Neville 402) to learn more about this unique form of expressive art therapy! Cookies, tea, and coffee will be provided.
