Kim Langley is president of LifeBalance Enterprises and founder of WordSPA (short for spirituality, poetry, appreciation), an organization that engages poetry as a healing art. We talk about her book Send My Roots Rain: A Companion on the Grief Journey, which discusses how poetry helps us grapple with multiple aspects of grief and find purpose, beauty, and joy even amid devastating circumstances.
