Graham Morgan has an MBE for services to mental health, and helped
to write the Scottish Mental Health (2003) Care and Treatment Act.
This is the Act under which he is now detained. START, published by
Fledgling Press in 2017, was his memoir about his years of
breakdowns, the harshness of his marriage and the beauty of falling
in love with his partner, Wendy. It has been widely acclaimed as a
must-read by mental health practitioners in the UK. Blackbird
Singing is a continuation of those years, it tells tales of some of
the things that have happened to Graham since START was published.
It is a musing, a meandering through real life. It is not about
drama, although there is drama. It is not about devastation,
although there is devastation. This is a book about living, about
understanding, about learning, about growing, about love and also
grief; about summers walking the dog by the sea and winters when we
are too tired to think. It is about answering the alarm when the
world is so surreal and dark that school and work seem like an
absurdity and because it is Graham, it is about the world of mental
illness and compulsory treatment and trying to live a normal life
when everyone says there is no such thing as normal.
