Episode 50: The Enrichment Approach with Poetic Therapy and Needles

I started with my own joke about meters. Then I use quote from Greek philosopher Aristotle, about poetry. April is national poetry month. Then I talk about enriched environments with poetics and catharsis.

In this week's RITE OF PASSAGE EXPERIENCES or ROPE, I talk about poetry.  I read two personal  poems that involve different needles. One is a needle before surgery. The other is about the needle of acceptance.
