Review of Remembering Poetry: The Alzheimer's Poetry Project

This program is thought-provoking in that it brings forth the idea of using poetry as a form of therapy and enrichment in thelive of people with Alzheimers. It puts poetry in the same usefullness as music and other forms of art. The audio clips of the people in the nursing homes is touching and engaging. It also gives hope to those who have had to cope with a love one suffering from Alzheimers disease. I found it inspiring.
