Comments from attendees:
“Utterly fascinating presentation, thank you, I am a survivor and a writer of both poetry and prose over decades etc, published etc, BUT my reflection on your talk feels so unexpected that is, I now wonder if the poetry I’ve been writing all my life has been my way of seeing my “core self” all along as carrying too much. Wow! Thank you”
“This is really interesting! So through the writing of the poem, the writer is also changing. Language constructs reality. We “emerge” through the writing process”
