Meredith Heller is now a performing poet and singer-songwriter with graduate degrees in writing and education. But she was once a teen facing devastating life circumstances who happened upon poetry and found in it a way through pain, into inner strength, and toward self-expression and self-love. She has devoted her life to helping others findthe same, and here shares ways that anyone ? at any age and with any level of education or writing experience ? can learn to use and play with words. Her methods show that one?s unique, personal perspectives ? on everything from childhood, disappointments, and fears to food, nature, and wildlife ? can be keys to self-discovery.
