Video Description
In her recent book, P.O.E.T. (Power Over Emotional Trauma), Honey Bell-Bey asks, "What do you do with what did not kill you?" Trauma happens, she notes, but healing happens also. Widely known as the dynamic National Award-winning Poet Laureate (Academy of American Poets), Honey Bell-Bey isn't just a poet. She is also an Ohio Certified Prevention Specialist, and for decades, has used her talent in poetry as a vehicle for healing intergenerational trauma and other issues related to public health. Together with Dr. Scott Frank, an award-winning family medical doctor, Associate Professor Emeritus at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), and poet himself, they worked to underscore the importance of poetry as a public health need. Speaker Honey Bell-Bey Poet/activist and Founder, The Distinguished Gentlemen of the Spoken Word Moderator Dr. Scott Frank Associate Professor Emeritus, Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences, Case Western Reserve University
