Healing words

AURORA - Sometimes words can heal the soul like no drug or doctor's visit.

This truth circulated through Wells College last Tuesday, as several writers and physicians read portions of “The Healing Muse,” a compilation of literature centered on the stories of practitioners, patients and caretakers.

The not-for-profit journal, now in its sixth year of publication, blends poetry, essays and short stories submitted from across America and proof-read by staff at SUNY Upstate Medical University.
