A Note from the Editor, Paula Zimlicki:

It's a great pleasure to welcome you to open  the PDF version of Poetic Medicine: A Journal of Healing!  I hope this journal will be a doorway through which you find a deeper connection with the healing voice of poetry within and with a wonderful community of people around the planet.

When you read the journal, you will notice information in some stories that refer you to web pages here on the Institute for Poetic Medicine website.  It is our intention to provide you with further resources and inspiration beyond the limits of a 24 page journal. 

Please bear with us as we work to make these pages "live." Some of the links are not yet in place but they will be soon. So, be sure to check back to read these links.  We will also keep you informed!   You will be able to fully benefit from the complete interaction we want to create for you, the reader. 

Please enjoy reading this journal. Take time to savor it!

We invite your participation in furthering our mission to "awaken soulfulness in the human voice." We are always looking for articles, short stories, or news releases that explore the use of poetry and healing within the communities that we serve.  If you would like to contribute to the Poetic Medicine Journal, please feel free to submit your original article, short story or news release, along with your name to:  poempoeticmedicine.org.
