“This is a practical guide for everyone to learn the requisite art of
slowing down, becoming more curious in order to ‘nurture transformation
and love limitlessly.’”
—Derrick C. Brown, author of Hello. It Doesn’t Matter., UH-OH, and How the Body Works the Dark
How do we deal with the heaviness of everyday living? When we are
surrounded by uncertainty, distrust, and destruction, how do we sift
through the chaos and enjoy being alive?
In Every Day Is a Poem,
Jacqueline Suskin aims to answer these questions by using poetry as a
tool for finding clarity and feeling relief. With provocative questions,
writing practices, and mindset exercises, this celebrated poet shows
you how to focus your senses, cultivate curiosity, and create your own
document of the world’s beauty. Emphasizing that the personal is
inextricable from the creative, Suskin offers specific instructions on
how make a map of your past and engage with your pain to write a healing
poem.
Poetry isn’t a magic cure-all that makes adversity
vanish, but it does summon the wondrous and sublime out of the shadows.
Suskin seeks to remind you how incredible it is to be alive at all, even
when it hurts. Most importantly, Every Day Is a Poem reveals that we all have the ability to weave beauty and meaning out of otherwise difficult and overwhelming times.
