THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR POETRY THERAPY PRESENTS

VIRTUAL OPEN MIC NIGHT

"Where Poetry Finds Us"

With Featured Poet:

Beth Jacobs, PhD

Where poetry finds us is a reflection on Pablo Neruda’s wonderful lines from “Poetry”:

And it was at that age . . . poetry arrived

in search of me. I don't know, I don't know where

it came from, from winter or a river…

Poetry has its own force, it moves through us. What does poetry ask of us now at a time when its power is so urgently needed? Beth Jacobs invites our community to ponder that question together during this open mic.

Beth Jacobs, PhD is a lifelong writer of non-fiction and poetry, including the books Writing for Emotional Balance, The Original Buddhist Psychology, A Buddhist Journal, Long Shadows of Practice: poems, and Luminous Loves Gray, poetry. She has also compiled and edited four books of community poetry from her work facilitating expressive writing groups, the most recent entitled The Sound of Unspoken Things: Poems of the Tuesday Writers Retreat.

All participants are invited to bring one poem to share!
