I am also a nurse and a poet and author. I am compelled to write whenever and where ever. Let us continue to use the power of the poetic word to encourage and uplift people from every walk of life.

The question of whether to write about other peoples lives is tricky. It happens to me too and some of those poems I feel I could never publish – at least not for a long time. Good luck to you on your path – I have yet to have the courage to perform my poems!

I really can’t wait to hear/read Molly’s poetry. This really confirms a suspicion that I’ve been harboring inside me. Writers must do more in the world that just write. Thanks.

Such compassion. Such humanity. Such a way with words, and with people. Then Barbara said you agreed to write a post for us. Thank you so much. You are exhilarating! – Anora McGaha, Editor

The ‘nursing the nation’ poem made me cry. Brilliant, thank you.
