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

At our community Poetry Salons, you’ll 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.

Thank you for joining us. Hope to see you at the next event!
