A little about
The Poetry Clinic
Wesley brings a prompt. People write, listen, share if they choose, and may shape their lines into one collective poem. Nobody has to perform or call themselves a poet.
- On-site by default; virtual by arrangement
- Participation and sharing are voluntary
- No writing or performance experience required
- A collective poem may remain with the room
Clear scope
The Poetry Clinic is a creative-expression and team-development experience. It is not therapy, clinical treatment, crisis intervention, legal mediation, or an employee-assistance-program replacement.
