There is a new poet who writes insightfully about her own illness which can allow others to become vocal about their own.
“Poems of Survival” by Sue Holt
ISBN 0 9542218 9 3
ChipmunkapublishingI have read a lot of Sue’s poetry. The poem that I could identify with the most was ""Manic Mind". Sue has eloquently expressed raw and emotional feelings. As I read, I was transported back to times when I had gone through the panic of mania, the fear, the craziness, and all the things Sue felt deep within her because I have been there, and I know those feelings all too well. Then having to battle the hole of depression - almost clutching for life, self-harming and shame. Knowing someone could understand what I go through moved me. Oh! How this is a demon we fight. I thank Sue for giving this as an explanation for those we desperately want to understand.
Thank you Sue for sharing your vulnerability and your talent.Melanie Vancouver, Canada
