Listen in as Executive Director, Audrey Nelson and Dr. Jerry Hoepner are interviewed on WPR by Shereen Siewert.

Kathryn Paulson and Brendan Constantine join Professor Jerry K. Hoepner, PhD, CCC-SLP to describe how a group of dynamic poets emerged from workshops for individuals with stroke-based aphasia and traumatic brain injuries. Beginning as an idea to spur creativity and help participants share their stories, the meetings quickly developed into the “Thursday Night Poets” group. Their first published work, described here, offers poetry of deep meaning and resonance for anyone who has ever faced a challenge.
