I still believed I was overweight. I thought if I couldn’t maintain my routine, there was no point living. But something kept me going. That something was writing.”Exemplified by poems from Sir Andrew Motion and Penelope Shuttle, Poetry Therapist Victoria Field describes how poetry can be therapeutic, and she shares examples of individuals’ responses to the poems.Gillie Bolton identifies the power of creativity writing: “Creative writing for personal and professional development – therapeutic and reflective – uses the tremendous power of creativity to help us to understand ourselves better – our thoughts, feelings, memories, ideas, inspirations, bodies, spirituality, relationships with others and our society. Making things creatively not only makes us feel good, it also offers insight and inspiration which ordinary everyday thinking and talking cannot.”The Editor, Carol Ross, set herself a task of producing a resource for practitioners and an enjoyable and inspiring read for a wider audience.
