Poetry for Life and Other Chronic Conditions

Send us a textRegular listeners will know that I love talking to writers and I love poetry. So what a joy it is today to welcome Anna Davidson to Bedside Reading to talk about her debut poetry collection: Poetry for Life and Other Chronic Conditions. Anna's poems are absolutely beautiful. It's a very beautiful little book, it's got a gorgeous cover and the contents, both the poems and the writing around the poems and the sense of why Anna wrote these poems, what they mean for her and what she hopes they might achieve for the world is just fabulous. and If you're thinking of a collection to recommend, I can't really think of anything else that is quite like it.  In terms of thinking about invisible illness, thinking about disability, thinking about recovery, thinking about missing out, some of the psychological effects of living with a physical long-term condition, um It's absolutely unbeatable, certainly something I'm going to be using in my teaching and it's a collection I think I will come back to again and again.
