In WRITING BY HEART: A Poetry Path to Healing and Self-Discovery (New World Library, February 27, 2024), poet, educator, and author Meredith Heller provides practical guidance and inspiration for anyone who wants to explore, express, heal, and find belonging through the power of their own words.

Meredith used poetry to heal her life and has guided others toward self-expression. In WRITING BY HEART, she shares the techniques she developed to help her students explore their emotions, find their voice, and better navigate the challenging experiences they confront. Each chapter includes inspiring themes and example poems, a Body/Mindfulness exercise to help readers get in the creative flow, and WRITE NOW! invitations that encourage readers to explore themes like belonging, fertile darkness, metamorphosis, and more.

Meredith Heller is the author of WRITING BY HEART, Write a Poem, Save Your Life, and several poetry collections. A poet, singer-songwriter, avid nature lover, and educator with degrees in writing and education, she leads writing workshops online and in-person at schools, juvenile detention centers, women’s prisons, and wellness retreats.
