S3 Ep. 14 Exploring Poetry for the Public’s Health with Jessica Grant-Domond and Shanaé Burch

In this episode, Shanaé Burch is in conversation with Jessica Grant-Domond about her poem in last year's November issue in the Poetry for the Public's Health section. They discuss her path to community psychology, poems that have inspired her, and processing grief among systems of oppression and through a variety of lenses. They invite us to this dream space where poetry gives breath.

This episode references the poem titled "Mourning (Like Lava): On Returning to the Last Place She Was Alive" by Jessica Grant-Domond, MA. You can listen to her read the poem as a bonus episode of the HPP Podcast.
