We are pleased to inaugurate this section
with a trio of reviews written by IPM volunteer,
Carol Katz. A native of Montreal,
Quebec, Carol lives there with her husband
of 42 years. She works and creates through
many artistic expressions including singing,
dancing, painting, and writing. During her
professional career in the field of learning
disabilities, one of her four careers, she
wrote book reviews for prestigious journals.
Now semi-retired, Carol is an active participant
in the Creative Social Center, a senior
center in Montreal. A number of her works
were published in an anthology of the works
of the center's Creative Writing Class.
Carol started writing poetry nine years ago and loves the freedom that writing poetry
and stories affords. She became involved with IPM through a chance remark from her
creative writing teacher, which led her to Finding What You Didn’t Lose, John Fox's first
book. Then after finding the IPM website and John's second book, Poetic Medicine:
The Healing Art of Poem-Making, Carol was hooked. Inspired, she sent John one of
her poems. Their subsequent correspondence led to these book reviews. Carol volunteered
to write them as a way to further her knowledge, and ours, of poetic medicine
