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.
