Is poetry writing the new anti-depressant? In this collection, Gerard Sharpling reveals the thereapeutic nature of poetry by exploring some of life’s major challenges through verse. A wide range of topics is covered, including love, illness, depression, gender identity, nature and pain. Everything is here from the difficulties of getting up in the morning to how the author felt one minute before going into a meeting. Also included are reflections on adoption, childhood, contemplation and faith. Many of the poems were developed through the use of an interactive daily web log, in which readers were invited to respond, leave comments and share experiences.
