Join Meredith Heller as she immerses herself in nature to discover the metaphors that help us navigate and illuminate our human journey.Her poems offer a rich, lyrical, and intimate trail guide of animism, where rocks speak in tongues/ crickets gossip/ the river sings her morning aria/ and an osprey plays two high notes on his golden coronet.Heller casts a spell that transforms herself and her readers into a deeper understanding of our part in the interdependence of all life.True to her poetry, she asks the important questions that are left humming in our hearts, "What kind of watermark will you leave?"Follow her, or better yet, chase her deep into the wood, now, as she learns and shares the ultimate lesson of the river.

';Join Heller on her quest to help save the world, one poet at a time.' from the foreword by Susan G. Wooldridge Write a Poem, Save Your Life helps writers of all ages and experience levels navigate their way through all aspects of life. With writing prompts, tools, encouragement, and moving student examples, Meredith Heller gently guides us in the art of using poetry to figure out who we are and what matters to us and to heal the deeper issues many of us face, such as depression, addiction, health and body image issues, low self-esteem, trauma, gender and sexual identity issues, and home and family problems. Along the way, we learn that writing poems helps us believe in ourselves, make positive life choices, and find direction, purpose, and meaning.
