Issue 5: CASCADE.
Like the water rushing down a cascade, poetry can help express an outpour of emotions.
​
We share our feelings and express our emotions through the spoken and written word. However, barriers may exist to prevent sharing of thoughts and feelings leading to isolation and depression. It has been studied that poetry is an artform that allows people to express themselves in ways traditional communication cannot.
There is evidence showing the therapeutic benefits of poetry, even across various vulnerable groups such as those dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, seniors, including those with dementia, and troubled adolescents. Poetry acts as a non-medical intervention to promote public health and wellbeing, with significant potential in enhancing quality of life. Let us come together and freely share our thoughts and feelings---a cascade of emotions.
In our fifth issue, Cascade, we invite you to share your stories, feelings, wishes, fears, and maybe even a hint of your soul with others.
