🥀By drawing a connection between illness and the environment, Alexander shows us how connected to nature the human body is and how we can find comfort in nature's rhythms of death and rebirth, turning them into companions through periods of disease. 🤔What do you think?

🪻Today, we are bringing you a poem we love to ease the end of the week. 🖊️"Revenant" by Meena Alexander, who profusedly wrote about illness and treatment in her poetry and showed us the relevance creative writing has in times of suffering.
