The Poetics of Healing: Creative Investigations in Art, Medicine, and Somatic Practice is a collaboration between Eleni Stecopoulos and The Poetry Center at San FranciscoStateUniversity, sponsored by a grant from the Creative Work Fund. It includes a series of public programs and a book by ES drawing on the programs as live research (notes toward/writing in progress to be posted here.) What can happen in an experiment that gathers a range of people to explore the empathic imagination, sound healing, physical intelligence, trauma and trance, architecture as healthcare, the community of those who have nothing in common, damaged language, poetry therapy and poetry as not-therapy... These are some places I'm led to.
