Abstract
The underlying assumption in this article is that the work of both wisdom and art is to convey, not so much what has happened, but what always happens. The authors take the term “wisdom poetry” to mean the conveyance of cultural wisdom through poetry—the ways in which a single personal voice can invoke a more universal truth. Kykosa Kajanju (an African Wisdom Keeper and Visiting Professor), Jack Coulehan (a poet physician-internal medicine), and Robert Carroll (a poet physician-psychiatrist) engage in a trialogue on wisdom poetry from each of their unique wisdom and healing traditions. The authors concluded that wisdom can be found in proverbs, the art of medicine, and the acts of everyday life.
