Description

A book of poems that explores the fundamental questions resonating within each of us about human nature. The collection navigates the difficult waters of the poet’s on-going battle with mental illness, following Jenny Symons’ journey through hospitalisation due to schizophrenia. The poet reveals to us her insecurities, her frustrations and her sources of happiness, grappling with themes of love, nature, death, and suicide. Symons finds a powerful and genuine voice that asks us to spare a thought about the realities of every element of existence, from the mundane to the existential.
