Poetry Salon: February 2023

Online Poetry Reading

Sunday, February 26, 2022

4-5pm Eastern Standard Time

This event to celebrate healthcare workers was a live poetry reading and discussion with some of our Listener Poets and poemees.

At our community Poetry Salons, you hear never-before-published poems, eavesdrop on conversations between us and our participants (“poemees”), and find out what goes into our work supporting resilience and wellbeing for healthcare workers. 

Support Good Listening

 

At The Good Listening Project, we use listening to cultivate wellbeing and resilience in healthcare.

Your generous contributions support sharing stories from the healthcare community by helping produce additional seasons of The Good Listening Podcast and fund scholarships for the Certified Listener Poets course, as well as help fund other projects designed to serve people in various healthcare settings.
