Reading as Therapy: Using Literature and Poetry as Coping Mechanisms with Lisa New Moderated by Big Think co-founder and president Peter Hopkins ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time and again, reading has been shown to make us healthier, smarter, and more empathic. How can we use literature as therapy during this moment of drastic change? In this live session with Harvard literature professor Lisa New, you’ll dive into the world of prose and poetry, discovering the answer to questions like: how can I use reading as a coping mechanism? What do I lose when I only watch the movie and ignore the book? And why do people roll their eyes at poetry, anyway? Sheltering in place is the perfect time to reconnect with books and your love of reading. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Poems for discussion One Art By Elizabeth Bishop https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem...
