“Just write. Just speak. Don’t worry about it being good to you, you’ll get there. First, just let it be good for you,” Andrews said.
But no matter how you engage, just get in there and start feeling your way around for what you need. Or as poet Billy Collins wrote in “Introduction to Poetry”:
…walk inside the poem’s room
and feel the walls for a light switch. " -David Allen from https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/15/health/poetry-life-itself-wellness/index.html
“Reading or writing poetry creates a space for empathy, for seeing another person, for bearing witness to our common humanity.”
Whether it’s written or spoken, poetry can be a powerful tool to aid in healing. It offers an opportunity for readers, writers, and speakers to feel both heard and understood. It also offers us a moment to take a pause, feel, and reflect on our experiences.
“The benefits of poetry therapy include increased self and interpersonal awareness, increased sense of validation in voicing one’s truth, and an enhanced capacity to capture and reframe significant life stories,” says The National Association for Poetry Therapy. -Thea Voutiritsas
