Healing Through Poetry: Recommended Books for Personal and Professional Use

It is my intention in these new IPM website pages to highlight books that would otherwise be difficult for a nationwide audience to find or know about. The featured books are, of course, a very small sample of the important and valuable work that is out there.

Yet for those who are in hospice work, for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one, for anyone who would like to be inspired by a blend of poem and photograph, the first three books we are presenting can meet your need and interest.

I want to thank Carol Katz for contributing such fine work in writing these book reviews. Carol has taken considerable time to explore and find the healing elements within these books. Her reviews are not focused on critical evaluations. She shares liberally from the books themselves. She welcomes you, the reader, to sense and feel how this book could be of use to you personally and professionally. My appreciations also go to Rachel McKay for organizing this material.
