Who We’re Working with this Summer

July 2022

It’s been our busiest year so far at TGLP! We’re excited to be serving our priority healthcare communities all across the country. Here’s a peek into who we’re currently working with.

Community of Practice

Reconnecting with Your Poetic Voice

August 2025

By Jenny Hegland

Twice a month, our Listener Poet community (now 80+ and growing) gathers for our regular Community of Practice. This space allows us to stay connected, continue learning, and hold space for one another as we navigate both our poetic practices and our lives.

Last month, the focus of our sessions was on poetic voice – that one-of-a-kind artistic expression that allows us to communicate not only our own truths but also the truths and stories of others. The conversations and insights were so rich that we wanted to share some of the key takeaways with our broader community. We hope you find these reflections inspiring as we all continue to explore the transformative power of poetry.
