Synopsis

Practical ways of writing poetry as teachers, with students, and in the community. Available for free in digital form at www.ethicalela.com/store

Written by teachers, for teachers. A compelling look at writing poetry as a powerful transformative agent to support teachers, their students, and community. Words That Mend includes practical ways for teachers to engage in poetry writing providing prompts, instructions, and invitations for teachers to nurture their writing lives. The authors candidly share their personal stories of trauma, pain, and joy, as well as incredible stories from the classrooms and community events. These educators' warmth and love for teaching emphasize that processing traumatic events and stirring joy through poetry writing has become a step toward recovery and rediscovering hope at a time when the teaching profession most needs it.
