'This book of poems is for all of us who go through illness, deal
with doctors, hospitals, and experiences such as bereavement and
ageing, and who struggle to find language to describe the suffering
we have to go through. Medical language baffles and alienates us.
It's a harsh, unforgiving vocabulary that often seems to bear no
relationship to our own emotional predicament. In this uplifting
anthology we see how poetry can give us metaphors and images to
help us understand our feelings and communicate them to people
around us. This is a book that should be in every waiting-room, and
should be by the bed of every GP and consultant. It may inspire you
to write poetry, and also help you to find order in the chaos of
ill health. By giving us words, poetry can help cure us.' - Julia
Darling & Cynthia Fuller
