Voiced Wisdom

 "Before written language took words out of our mouths and onto the page, and long before "virtual" communication lifted them off of the page and into intangible space, our ancestors knew that a poem, spoken aloud, could change us with its vital, voiced wisdom. Even today, in many cultures throughout the world, poetry still resides in its original home- in the sounds, sensations, and feelings of the human body.

Kim Rosen, Saved By A Poem pgs. xxi-xxii
