Kim Rosen, Saved by a Poem

Luke Bache

I have always been a poetry lover and yet Kim Rosen's book, 'Saved by a Poem,'  has dramatically deepened my relationship to poetry. This touching conversation with Kim echoed within me for days after. 

Kim describes poetry as, 'the power of the word meeting the language of the soul.' In an uncertain world, 'Saved by a poem' is an emphatic call to cultivate the ever renewable resources of the heart. Through poetry Kim believes, the unspeakable can be spoken, the unendurable endured, and the miraculous shared. I encourage you to find a comfortable and quiet place to listen to this conversation where we share poetry from Rumi, Mary Oliver, Leonard Cohen, Stanley Kunitz, Marie Howe, Emily Dickenson and Jason Shinder. Enjoy the heart opening ride!
