Veranda Porche is the poet-in-residence at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. In that capacity, she talks with patients, volunteers and employees, and turns their stories into poetic narratives. She also does a residency in the town of Newport. She talks about how she works with others to create poetry, and even leads John through some spontaneous poem-making.
