Panel, Performance
Poetry can be a powerful healing tool. More than just a balm, poetry can use language to construct community, can be a form of care, and can build resilience of the spirit to weather life’s storms and cater to our own well-being.
Join poets Natalie Harkin, Heather Taylor Johnson, Peter Goldsworthy, and Tessa Leon, who have all experienced poetry’s intersections with health and the holistic, as part of this live panel with readings. Hosted by Rachael Mead, with a special feature performance by Anna-Mei Szetu.
Presented in partnership with the State Library of South Australia and Writers SA, as part of Poetry Month.
