POETRY

Poetry often emerges effortlessly from an expressive arts experience and serves as another bridge between the conscious and unconscious. In the language of poetry, we capture deeper meanings, a flow or feeling, themes, or new rhythms.

By way of the poem, the world emerges within us and finds voice.
