Poems Written During the Pandemic

In celebration of Arts Month, 2021, Poetry Heals is honored to present the release and book signing of our recently published collection, COVID Chronicles, Poems Written During the Pandemic. This poetry collection was written by workshop participants from around the Pike’s Peak region, and present real time snapshots of people’s experiences and their range of emotions during the different stages of the pandemic, so far.

To help kick off Week #3 of Arts Month (featuring Poetry, Prose & Comedy), Poetry Heals will host a book signing on Sunday, October 17 from 1-3 p.m. at Switchback Coffee Roasters Hillside Café.

You will be able to grab a beverage or bite to eat from Switchback Café before hearing selected poems from the book. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase ($10). You will also have the opportunity to participate in the creation of one of our signature community poems that will be shared at the end of the event.

Poetry Heals is a local nonprofit organization founded in 2015 whose mission is to bring therapeutic poetry writing to people who have experienced trauma; homeless people, teens, and military veterans are our primary audiences.
