Hypocrace Shares How He Uses Poetry for Healing
"As a poet serving in AmeriCorps, it allows me the opportunity to write and work on pieces that I can use to engage with prospective volunteers and sponsored artists. Gaining access to stories of artists sharing how they deal with mental health issues allows the organization to connect with more people."
John “Hypocrace” Lewis is a poet who is using his passion for words to make an impact through service with the VISTA program. Serving alongside Poetry for Personal Power, John is helping the organization in its mission to use art to show that emotional distress is temporary and transformative.
Listen as he shares a snippet from his poem Duck Tape.
In celebration of #PoetsDay, we're honored to share how members like John are using art to impact communities.

DYK? Women's Equality Day
#AmeriCorpsVISTA honors the accomplishments of women's rights advocates who have fought and continue to fight to #GetThingsDone. We also recognize the challenges women continue to confront on a daily basis. We believe that women's equality must be part of our fight against poverty because “When women do better, economies do better” (Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank). #WomensEqualityDay
