Michele Bombardier - Poetry
Poet and speech-language pathologist Michele Bombardier's
first book of poetry
What We Do (2018) has met with great acclaim. Bombardier
uses poetry as her vehicle to consider faith, illness, death, and human
connection when things can fall apart. With humor and compassion she shows us
her own family, but also patients, students, strangers. At its essence,
What
We Do is a call to empathy, an invitation to shake us into awareness of
ourselves and those around us and to listen for what lies underneath the
surface. More of Bombardier's poetry can be found in
numerous literary journals, such as
Alaska Quarterly Review, Atlanta
Review, Poetry International Online, Bellevue Literary Review, Floating Bridge,
Artemis, and
The Examined Life Journal. Bombardier is also the
founder of Fishplatepoetry, a social purpose organization that
offers workshops and retreats for writers while raising funds for humanitarian
relief. For more information on this author go to
