Pharmacy of Poems

Voted Best Literary Medicine by Phoenix Magazine in 2023, the Pharmacy of Poems, located inside the Compassion Center at Banner-University Medical Center Phoenix, is curated by Revisionary Arts’ founding director, Dr. Rosemarie Dombrowski, a Medical Humanist who facilitates communication, reflection, and healing through poetry.

The Pharmacy features a range of poetic prescriptions – from poems that generate mindfulness and hope, to poems that speak to resilience and healing.

We encourage you to peruse our database of “scripts” and find one that’s right for you (or a colleague, patient, or friend).


The Poetry Pharmacy is an original idea by Deborah Alma, who’s based in the UK. They can be found at www.poetrypharmacy.co.uk
