Book Reviews of Poetic Medicine: The Healing Art of Poem-Making
Book Review: a long time favourite
Summary: 4 Stars
I first read this when I borrowed it from a library in Vancouver in 2000 while travelling, and it helped me to write several poems that I needed to write at that time. Don't be put off by the title though, while it aims to help people overcome all sorts of pain through poetry, it doesn't exclude those like myself, who have managed to avoid serious issues and trauma - the everyday ups and downs of life and relationships can be used as inspiration for the exercises in the book as well as more painful events. I found it so good that I never ever forgot the name of it, and finally found it again years later, when it was finally purchased and received a place of importance on my bookshelf, in recognition of it's role at an important time in my life !
