Infos

These five-line poems written about Eloise Klein Healy's experience with aphasia awaken the senses with a mind fully engaged with the creative. If we divorce ourselves from the cognitive intellectual process and immerse in the imagination, these are the poems we engender.

---

In April 2013, just five months after being named the first Poet Laureate of Los Angeles, Eloise had a brain injury resulting in Wernicke's aphasia-a breakdown in the symbol system of language. Poetry was the guide and motivation for recovery. This collection is comprised of a series of five-line poems that began as a focusing exercise yet transformed into a remarkable channel for her creativity. These poems are filled with the same features that have pervaded her work, meaning they are serious, at times playful, sometimes beautiful and sometimes "e;goofy."e; But all have that twist, that meaningful point, that is unique to Eloise's consciousness.
