In <B>Kim Rosen</B>'s book, the answer is a re­sounding “Yes!” Poetry, the most ancient form of prayer, is a necessary medicine for our times: a companion through difficulty; a guide when we are lost; a salve when we are wounded; and a conduit to an inner source of joy, freedom, and insight.</p> <p class="Pa2" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal; text-align: justify; tab-stops: 19.95pt">       Whether you are a lover of poetry or have yet to discover its power, Rosen offers a new way to experience a poem. She encourages you to feel the poem as you might an affirmation or sacred text, which can align every level of your being.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .25in">      In an uncertain world, <I>Saved by a Poem </I>is an emphatic call to cultivate the ever-renewable resources of the heart.
