the poetry practice - writing your way to hope and healing
WOMEN OF THE WORD

"I want to tell you how beautiful you are
in such a true and unforgettable way
that you will never doubt it again.
It will be as though through the lens of a poem
you will suddenly see: yourself, truly
the whole you, naked."
—River Malcom, from "Every Woman Deserves a Poem."


Workshop description

In this all women's group, we will look at our lives through the lens of poetry. What is important to us as women? What are our deepest desires, fears, aspirations, hopes? We'll take a look at the relationships in our lives, whether they're with mother, father, sister, spouse, significant other, partner or ourselves! How do we relate to our bodies? Do we love them? Hate them? A little bit of both? How do we nurture ourselves, feed our bodies and our spirits? Do we have children, want them, or have decided we don't? How do we feel about aging? We'll read poetry, talk about it, and write our own words as we claim our place as "Women of the Word!"
