A Memoir in Strophe: Poignant, moving poems of life and death, of miraculous healing and intractable pains. Drawn from a long career of psychotherapy, you will be with Dr. Baldo rooting for the greatest miracle: life.
Richard Baldo knows that poetry is not therapy; therapy is therapy. But poetry can be therapeutic, and Baldo is writing poems of experience that take us along on his journey of compassionate care for those who need it most, and most of us need it more than we know. These are poems from a mature and astute observer of what being human means.
–Gailmarie Pahmeier, Poet Laureate of Nevada 2022-2024.
Dr. Baldo shares his decades of experience with empathy and wisdom… drawing us into…his deep understanding and compassion for the exquisite edges where we meet life and each other–
—Laura V. Drucker, Psy.D.
