Why Poetry Is More Than Necessary Now

A recording from Cassie Premo Steele's live video
2

This is a special edition of Green Ink Live and while I usually do a weekly 30-minute live writing coaching session with paid subscribers, I’m sharing this one with all my subscribers because it’s just too important.

It’s important that you know…

  • trauma is real and it’s happening right now

  • trauma affects memory

  • one of the ways to know you’ve survived (or are surviving) a trauma is that it’s all too much, and yet you don’t have the words for it

  • trauma affects your identity

  • your identity can also be a source of trauma

  • trauma can lead to physical and emotional illness

  • unwitnessed trauma can affect generations

It’s also important that you know…

  • poetry can help with all this!

I urge you to take 15 minutes and watch this and share it with your networks.

It’s important that we know we are all in this together, and there are ways of finding healing, resilience, and strength.
