[Q]: M: Hello!  W: Hello! If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, poetry may be the solution to your problems. Dr Stewart, how does poetry help?  M: Em, OK! Look, let me give you an example. A patient came into our clinic last month. He was a middle-aged businessmen, and he was feeling, well, like most middle-aged businessmen, really stressed and with his life out of control. He talked to me about it, and, well, I was convinced that medication just wouldn't help him. Then I read him a poem called Leisure by WHDavis. Do you know the one? It begins, er...  W: I do, yes.  M: What is this life, er, so full of. It is so or if...  W: I think it's if.  M: If full of care, that's it, yes. We have no time to stand and stare. Well, you know the one. The next time he came to see me, he told me that, well, it was a sort of turning point for him. The poem made him think about the quality of his life and the need to find a balance between his work and his social life. Er, you see, because the idea was expressed poetically, he felt that he could identify with it, and actually feel the message in a way that he wouldn't if he simply discussed it with me. And we just had the usual kind of conversation about it.  W: Yes, I see.  M: You see, reading poetry to patients seems to make them calmer. Encouraging them to write it has an even more dramatic effect, actually. Era, there.., there are something about the process of expressing confused thoughts and feelings and emotions in writing that actually helps people or suffering from stress and anxiety. This happens especially if the words are written in a poetical way with a sense of rhythm rather than in prose, you see. Er, now, for a long time, we've been asking patients to write diaries to put their feelings into words. But it turns out that writing poetry seems to work much better for many patients.  W: Right, and have you found that other doctors and therapists have made the same discoveries?  M: Yes, many of my colleagues have successfully used poetry with patients...

[Q]: M: Ah, not so great.  W: What's wrong?  M: I've got a big problem with the Shakespeare course which is required for my major.  W: Is that all filled up?  M: No, there's plenty of room, but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. It is only offered in the evening.  W: You don't like evening classes?  M: That's not the point. I work in the cafe every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition.  W: You can ask someone that could switch hours with you. Maybe just switch a couple of evenings since the course probably only meets two times a week.  M: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.  W: Wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer an introductory course during the day.  M: That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I'll go over and check it out.  W: Their courses are actually cheaper.  M: Thanks for your advice. I'll let you know what happens.  W: Sure. Good luck!  What was said before this conversation?
