What is perhaps less obvious is one answer to the problem: the healing(治愈)power of poetry to make us feel more connected to others. Here things get personal. I first got involved in how poetry can support our emotional well-being after I wrote a memoir, Black Rainbow: How Words Healed Me My .Journey Through Depression, in 2014 about how poetry helped me through two serious periods of depression. Since then , I've been running Healing Words poetry activities for mental health charities and prisons, and have discovered first-hand the lovely feeling of companionship(友情) which poetry can bring. Poetry lets us connect with other people who have experienced similar emotions. We're not alone in our despair or delight. When we have a poem by our side, it feels like we're being accompanied by a friend: an authorial arm is wrapped(缠绕)around our shoulders. I remember one woman starting to cry as she read Derek Walcott's poem " Love After Love" during a workshop held at my local hospital in West London. Fighting through tears, she eventually said, "I feel understood." Everyone in the room knew exactly what she meant. She had, in Walcott's phrase, struggled to " love again the stranger who was yourself" . The poet's invitation to " Sit. Feast on your life" was the comfort she needed, in a language which spoke to her, to imagine loving herself in a way she had always found hard. Poetry had worked its magic.unlocking a feeling of inner connection, and in turn a connection to all of us sitting in the workshop. Given my own experience, I think having a poem to keep us company can help us all feel a greater sense of belonging. 1. What does the author suggest doing to fight against loneliness?
