"Blending lived experience of trauma, professional expertise, and a passion for poetry and painting, Kendall Johnson shows us how to use our creative gifts to process, express, connect, survive, and thrive." -Lorette C. Luzajic, founding editor of The Ekphrastic Review and The Mackinaw
"This beautifully written and resonant book is a legacy of the heart, from its author to all those who create, be it through the written word, visual arts, movement, or music.... With Johnson's own artworks interwoven through most of these essays, Writing to Heal gives us a richly illuminating tapestry of words and images." -From the publisher's introduction
