From April 17th-18th, 2026, a Chronic Illness Symposium will be broadcast from the US via Zoom.
Thanks to the generosity of the Center for Chronic Illness, all sessions will be recorded.
Pictured is the director, Allison.
The plan was for me to read poetry live at the event, however we figured out that the time difference would make that too difficult. I’ll be asleep while much of the event is being broadcast!
Check out the full agenda and book your ticket below.
Listen to the poem
My poem, Restored, will be included in the digital program, and you are welcome to listen to a recording of me reading it.
To protect the audio file from AI thievery, it is password-protected. To listen, contact me here. Include the words ‘fibro poem’ in your message.
