Why We Listen
Poetry is not the product – it’s the pathway.
Your donation helps make these human moments possible.
“I really appreciated your deep heartfelt listening. I rarely feel that heard. The poem is such a vivid reminder of that interaction.”
“I thought it was very valuable to have a space that gave me the chance to think and talk about something that really mattered to me.
I ended up talking about something that has been on my mind for months. Something I haven’t been able to verbalize, or haven’t allowed myself to give words to before.”
“I’m 50, and that was the first time I’ve ever felt heard.”
“You are such a fine listener, and I am taken aback by your careful recollections of what I said to you.
You truly captured the essence of my grief and the events that tumbled in and became a part of it, too. Your poem is tender and a comfort.”
