Need something inspiring to enjoy this weekend?

Four poets and a patient advocate log in to a virtual salon…

…and this is what they had to talk about.

  • Cocktails
  • The absurdity of that 10-point pain scale
  • Outing one’s illness through poetry
  • Bamboo back scratchers
  • Carrie Fisher
  • Pandemics, old and new
  • Tattoos
  • COVID-19 long haulers
  • Poetry to heal both poets and readers

But don’t take it from me! This engaging, energizing, honest salon conversation is now yours to watch for free on YouTube! Audience: Anyone who enjoys an engaging, honest, inspiring, powerful conversation.
