Information & Guidelines

Have you or someone you love been touched by Parkinson's disease? Here is an opportunity to share your unique story, wisdom, and experiences in poetic form. You don't have to consider yourself a poet to participate. You just have to be willing to try something new and share your insights.

This book is being created to enable people to share their stories, imagine new ways to move through life, and to provide a healing journey for the brain and spirit.

To participate send one to three poems and a two sentence bio. You may include a url or link to your website. Please send everything in one attached Word document to TouchedByPoetry@gmail.com

Twenty-five entries will be selected for inclusion in the book entitled: Touched by Parkinson's, a Healing Journey Through Poetry which will be published on Amazon. Another 50-60 participants will have one of their poems featured in

Touched by Parkinson's, which will be edited by Kimberly Burnham and published by Inner Child Press.

The above anthology is open to anyone who has Parkinson's disease, has a family member or friend with Parkinson's, works with people with Parkinson's or has in some way been touched by Parkinson's disease and wants to contribute their story and inspiration.

There is interesting research on the healing benefits of sharing your story, listening to other people with a similar experience, and reading the images a writer can create with poetry. Below are some poetry prompts, ideas, and some of the research that will be featured in the book.

Other topics being considered for future books in the Touched by Poetry series include: Multiple Sclerosis, Macular Degeneration, Down Syndrome, Huntington's Ataxia, Diabetes, Arthritis / Joint Pain, Osteoporosis, Autism, Breast Cancer, PTSD, Addictions, Joint Pain, Strokes / Heart Attack, Aids / HIV, and ... YOU can suggest a future topic if you would like.

Readers of the book will have a chance to write their own poetry, as well as take a glimpse into your process. Thank you in advance for your generosity in the shared adventure. There will be no cost or payment to participants in this process. Credit for the poems will of course be given.

Deadline is April 10, 2016 for entry.
