The international poetry therapy community joins me in expressing our sadness and sympathy at Pat's passing. She truly loved poetry, she loved poetry therapy, and she especially loved her Hang Out Poets. Our community has lost a passionate advocate. We will miss her vibrant joy. Bob and family, our hearts are with you.
