French Kissing the Earth
Tell Me Again: Poetry and Prose from The Healing Art of Writing, 2012 (2013)
  • LeeAnn Bartolini, Department of Psychology, Dominican University of California
Abstract
For more than a decade The Healing Art of Writing conference has sought to strengthen compassionate understanding between healthcare providers and those who seek a state of well-being beyond the reach of surgery or pharmacology. Together, the participants share the belief that being cured of disease is not the same thing as being healed, and that a practice of expressive writing promotes both spiritual and physical healing. The writings presented at the 2012 conference, collected here in Tell Me Again, are a powerful testament to that belief. Within these pages you will hear, again and again, words of truth, words that uplift, words that heal.
