Mary Jacobsen speaks with Newburyport resident and poet John Burciaga about Poetry in Public Places, a project which promotes poetry and emergent poets through display placement in businesses, bookstores, arts venues, and community centers. 

Poet, psychotherapist and community activist Elizabeth Rose, LICSW, accompanies Burciaga. She describes what happens during Poetry Therapy, a healing modality which she’s in the process of being certified to offer.

Burciaga and Rose both talk about the importance and appeal of poetry, and share a few poems of their own, as well as ones that have inspired their own love of poetry.
