Abstract
In the fall of 2017 as a chaplain intern working in a hospital setting, I started reading poems to patients and families with the hope that language could offer a buffer to suffering, a meditative space to slow down time and hear the comforting sound of language. This article contains stories of the power of poetry to nourish, nurture and connect with individuals facing darkness, doubt and vulnerability.
