THE EXPRESSIVE ARTS POETRY CIRCLE
Facilitated by Prof. Margo Fuchs Knill, Ph.D.
What for poetry, and insofar can poetic writing support resilience, connectivity and balsam for body, mind and soul – especially in times where we are shaken by the terrible? I am interested to explore further with you the notion of ‘resilience poetry’, and poetry with its connection to the solution -based approach in expressive arts. The frame is educational, soothing, courageously meaningful, and a platform to cultivate connectivity in a time of uproar and recreation of hope.
As a point of departure, I put in quest-ion the poetic riddle by Pablo Neruda:
POETRY IS AN ACT OF PEACE.
Poetry is an act of peace. Peace goes into the making of a poet as flour goes into the making of bread.
