Poetry, love, and recovery (feat. Kali)

Kali (kmpoetry14) hosts poetry workshops for people with BPD through Emotions Matter. She shares about her own lived experience, the moment she realized she had the ability to change, finding and redefining love, and the impact poetry has had on her recovery. 

Kali earned her MFA in 2010 from Lesley University. She has been published in Gaslight
Magazine, Boston Literary Magazine, Balancing the Tides, The Novice Writer, Tupelo Press 30/30 Project, Connotations Press and most recently became one of the winners of Newport Life Writing Contest.  She works full-time for a family business and is committed to her volunteer work with Emotions Matter to help others on the journey. She is "loud and proud" about her BPD diagnosis and Laurie loved chatting with her!
