Celebrating the Voices of Our 2025 Publications

Join us for a special poetry reading ✨🎉✨
Listening Together: Poems from a Year of Conversations
Tuesday, October 21 | 7 pm - 8:15 pm ET | Zoom

This 75-minute event will celebrate the six anthologies published by The Good Listening Project in 2025.

Each anthology represents countless conversations between Listener Poets and the people they met in healthcare communities — moments of story, memory, and meaning transformed into poems.

Reserve Your Spot

The event will be both a literary celebration and a community gathering. By the end of the event, participants will leave with a deeper appreciation for the diverse voices represented across our publications, the threads of connection that run through them, and the unique role listening poetry plays in honoring human stories.

Tickets are donation optional ($50 suggested donation), and all are welcome. Click the button below to reserve your spot!
