what Walpert does so beautifully in this book is use the art to save the artPoetry and Mindfulness is primarily aimed at those who teach literary studies and creative writing who find themselves pressed by students, colleagues, or those beyond the academy to explain the relevance of poetry. It will also interest poets, and anyone interested in current research about the intersections between literature and wellbeing, or mindfulness and wellbeing. Its worth interrupting your journey to read this book. (Sue Wootton, Corpus, corpus.nz, November 19, 2018)
