Heller, a poet, singer-songwriter, and educator who teaches workshops to students of all grades, explains how writers of all ages and experience levels can use poetry for self-discovery and to navigate painful issues in their lives and find healing and empowerment. She describes what a poem is and its elements, then offers prompts for exploring one's identity, the past, the senses, exploring the ordinary, writing odes, the elements, the body, emotions, dreams, nature, gratitude, and other topics, with example poems throughout.

âJoin Heller on her quest to help save the world, one poet at a time.â
â from the foreword by Susan G. Wooldridge
Write a Poem, Save Your Life helps writers of all ages and experience levels navigate their way through all aspects of life. With writing prompts, tools, encouragement, and moving student examples, Meredith Heller gently guides us in the art of using poetry to figure out who we are and what matters to us and to heal the deeper issues many of us face, such as depression, addiction, health and body image issues, low self-esteem, trauma, gender and sexual identity issues, and home and family problems. Along the way, we learn that writing poems helps us believe in ourselves, make positive life choices, and find direction, purpose, and meaning. - Perseus Publishing
