For those just now seeing this, I’ve started a temporary poetry club called Pain Speaks, as a way to offer both myself and you space to let the pain in our lives become more than a label or a limit. During this season, I am going through intense medical treatment called PLEX, plasma exchange and poetry is one way I am offering myself compassion and reclaiming courage day by day to survive what feels totally overwhelming.
For paid subscribers of Embodied, I am sharing fresh poems 1-3x a week, plus prompts for you to try writing your own poems. I hope it helps you as much as it’s already helping me.
