Popis: Reaction reading, the choral reading of poetry in small groups, gives mentally alert long-term care residents an opportunity to react to poetry with knowledge, opinion, emotion, and imagination. The activity can be led by a nonprofessional. Residents are encouraged to share their reflective fantasy (memory of past places and events) and projective fantasy (ideas of places beyond the contemporary setting) as inspired by poetic images. Application of the reaction reading method and its benefits are described.
