Healing Words
Bridget Dolan, Staff
Producer, Vicki Chaban, will screen and give a live presentation
Monday, March 26, 2007, starts at 6pm at the Arena Theater, 241 Main
Street, Point Arena. "Healing Words: Poetry and The Art of Medicine"
is a one-hour documentary on the poetry of illness and recovery. It
features caregivers, patients, families, poets both published and
unknown, all who have written about illness and release. That many
nurses and physicians write poems will come as surprise to an
audience of patients who have grown cynical about health care costs,
impersonal treatment, and the intrusion of corporate self-interest in
the doctor-patient relationship. Poetry serves to remind us of the
spiritual mission of medicine. Healing Words: Poetry and Medicine
will demonstrate the inspirational, therapeutic, and healing power of
poetry. Sponsor: Presented by the Redwood Coast Film Society.
