Women’s History Month - Healing Poets

Women’s History Month – Healing Poets Poetic Resurrection has featured various female poets. the talks are divided by the essence of the topic. There are two types of poets on this podcast. This week we will discuss healing poets. The difference between the two since poetry is healing in itself is these talks have the sense of healing others as in self-help/mindfulness. I, myself fit under this category and you can catch any of the many poems on the podcast. For the sake of this episode, I will add a link to the bottom to my talk on Grieving Dreams and the poem Quiet from Inspire Me: Perception. The following episodes can be found on all podcast platforms including: Apple/Itunes, Spotify, Pandora, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Audible and wherever podcasts are played. Maryam Ghouth discusses the three-part poetry film Journey of Becoming. A reading of the poem Your Autonomy, (part I) of ‘The Journey of Becoming’, which is a series of philosophical poetry films about self-realization. The purpose behind this film is to describe the struggles we face when we step away from the trodden path to follow our own unique path.  https://poeticresurrection.podbean.com/e/perceptions-of-becoming-with-maryam-ghouth/ Louise Alexandra Erskine.
