The Healing Power of Writing Poetry In the past year, poetry has sought me out and inspired me to start writing poems, another creative pursuit that I had not envisioned doing with my life. I started hearing poems read by their authors in my Instagram feed. Each one touched me as the poet gave life to what they had written. Hearing the words read in the cadence as they were intended had a deeper impact. The more I listened, the more I felt seen as they often mirrored the events that I have walked through. I also began buying poetry books by the authors who spoke to me most, such as Becky Hemsley and Alicia Cook.

In my new blog post, "The Healing Power of Writing Poetry," I reflect on the people who influenced me to begin writing poetry, and it's healing power of living life with grief and joy.
