Testimonial from a former Shared Visions Poet (2024):
“Last night was one of the most profound moments of my life. To be sung my poem, transformed into a work of beauty, surrounded by ones I love… To meet the artist who inspired my words and others in the program … To have that moment of realization that I was part of something far larger than myself was transformative and deeply, deeply moving. I cried before the first note was played and throughout the entire piece… The sense of connectedness last night was more powerful than I could have ever dreamed of or hoped for. As I was reading the words of my poem “I am yearning to be filled to the brim” my heart sang to me loudly and sweetly in a language beyond words … but with deep and abiding affirmation.” – Jen Gurney
