Certified Listener Poet,
Cohort 7 Winter 2024
On a Magic Lessons podcast with Elizabeth Gilbert, writer Mark Nepo said: “We are told [by the world] to become a noun. And the vitality of life is in staying a verb.”
To live Mark's words: Gina Petersen creates through mothering, nursing, mentoring, teaching, reflecting, reading, writing poetry, listening, and exploring nature with her husband, dog Rosie, newly born son, family, dear friends and the souls she meets on the sojourns of her days.
She graduated from TGLP's Certified Listener Poet Cohort 7, has offered good listening at Fairfield University where she teaches, and regularly tries to practice good listening with the people in her life.
