Poetry is truly healing!!

The author encourages everyone to write and continue writing....

"emily dickinson did not stop writing. sara teasdale did not stop writing. robert frost and edgar allen poe did not stop writing. pablo neruda, maya angelou, e.e. cummings, langston hughes; these are our predecessors."

"it could resonate with them. it could make them feel . and that, above all else, is the most important part of writing. if you write with feeling, and if you can make somebody else smile, or cry, or think, then you have succeeded. i hope that i have succeeded, just as i hope you will too."
