Omschrijving

Description

This book contains a blend of poems I hope you will be interested in. It includes poems about cancer, which I was diagnosed with last year, politics in Britain, Europe and America, urban life, acts of terrorism, and growing older. I hope you enjoy it. I am an ex-soldier with a thirty year history of mental illness and a multiple diagnosis, who has served time in prison and secure mental hospital. I live in North Manchester.

About the Author

I have been in Mental Health Services since 1985, when I had a huge mental breakdown after serving in the Falklands with the army. Since then my life has been something of a rollercoaster of mental illness until meeting my wife Jane seven years ago.

I have been in and out of hospital from 1985 until 2009. I had an illness which I attributed to my father and resulted in me stabbing him in 1997 and going to the Edenfield Unit in Prestwich Hospital for 6 years. This is when I started to write poetry to keep myself sane and give me something to focus on.
