From UAB News, an article by Shannon Thomason tells about an
Alabama poet who is joining poetry with the healing arts:
An artist
is creating poems after listening to health care staff at the University
of Alabama at Birmingham tell stories of their experiences.
Salaam Green,
an artist-in-residence with UAB Arts in Medicine, is a certified Listener Poet. Through the
Listener Poet program, the poets hold space for people to share whatever is on
their minds, which is reflected back to them through a custom poem. A writer
and storyteller, Green facilitates writing-to-heal workshops for AIM.
