The Poem That Saved My Life, Now Set to Music in Collaboration with Singer Songwriter Paul Lisney
"On Poetry Changes Lives, sometimes a poem doesn’t just speak to you - it inspires and saves you too.
This is one of those moments.
Some time ago, I shared a poem ('The Poem That Saved My Life') that carried me through one of the darkest periods of my life. It resonated with many of you here on Poetry Changes Lives—and now, something extraordinary has happened.
American musician Paul Lisney has taken those words and set them to music.
In this video, I share his beautiful interpretation, along with my reflections on what this poem has meant to me—and why poetry still has the power to heal, connect, and transform us." from the video introduction
