What if you had the power to transform lives, to touch the human heart with tenderness and love? Would you dare to use such cathartic power? The joyful news is that every human being possesses this great power to make the world a better place. Poetry is about power. I first started writing poetry when I was working at Kings Park Psychiatric Center. I also learned a deep truth: in every human being, there is a sacred rose—a rose deserving to be watered with kindness, compassion, and dignity.
