A Beanie and a Cup of Tea
Author: Larry A. Dunn
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666715867
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
The soul-searching poems in Larry Dunn’s debut collection, A Beanie and A Cup of Tea, invite readers into a deeply personal journey that explores the mystery of life and death, the beauty of words as gift, and the power of sustaining love not fully known before the loss of his son, Seth. Both introspective and transparent, Dunn writes with an unflinching style about the realities of unimaginable loss, his willingness to embrace the unknowable, and his renewed commitment to cherish life and those he loves. In an honest portrayal of what it means to sit with the pain of loss, Dunn searches for ways to stay connected to his son within the “thin spaces” of these poems, “where mystery is / cloaked in beauty / and the line between / heaven and earth / collapses into love.” A Beanie and A Cup of Tea invites the reader into these spaces, extending a knowing embrace and giving voice to those whose lives are shaped by grief.

I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at the age of sixteen. When I had just turned eighteen, I was admitted to hospital for treatment. After nine weeks on a mental health ward I was discharged, but I was far from recovered. This is the tale of my continuing battle with Anorexia Nervosa, which has taken over half of my life so far. "A Cautionary Tale is an incredibly vulnerable and insightful lived experience account of a non-binary late diagnosed Autistic's decades long battle with anorexia nervosa. It is also a scathing rebuke of mainstream anorexia nervosa treatment programs and the deep enduring harm that these can cause. It is a call to action for clinicians in this country to know and do better when supporting their clients with anorexia nervosa. I had the privilege to read an advanced copy of Hannah's book and would love to see this in as many hands as possible." Emma: Autistic ADHD clinician

Book Description
*Don't miss the searing, dazzling and unforgettable new novel from the Women's Prize longlisted author of CARELESS - pre-order now!* 'Every word has the touch of a genius' BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH 'A pin-sharp, propulsive story' KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE 'Bold, brilliant, shocking and shattering' CHRIS WHITAKER Everyone has heard of Girls. But what happened to the women they became? At the time of her death, the press wrote many things about Ingrid Olssen: She was a brilliant artist. She was a terrible mother to her girls, Mattie and Nora. And that her legacy would live on forever. Even so, it's unlikely the world will ever see another Ingrid Olssen exhibition - her last request to her daughters was to throw her ashes in the canyon and her paintings in the sea. But as Mattie and Nora reluctantly embark on an all-or-nothing trip to fulfil her wishes, they start to unpick the painful scars of their past. And soon they begin to realise that the ties that bound them, might also break them... Perfect for fans of Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason and Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. GIRLS is as devastating as it is hilarious, as tender and moving as it is shocking - this is a book that will stay with you long after you have turned the final pages. ** EARLY PRAISE FOR GIRLS ** 'I knew I'd love GIRLS and I did, but I'm also utterly devastated by it. What a beautiful, rich, expansive novel. It'll be a while before I stop crying. Thank you a million times over' JENNIE GODFREY 'I can't think when I last encountered a story world of this depth and faultless plausibility. Everything about it was perfect: intricate; warm; uncluttered. Blimey, I wish I'd written it' ANSTEY HARRIS 'An extraordinary writer of lives rarely written about [...] in words that are wise, warm, painful and often witty' DALJIT NAGRA 'Phenomenal. I loved it.' KATE SAWYER 'Surprising, heart-breaking and dryly funny, Kirsty Capes is such an exciting talent.' CAROLINE HULSE 'GIRLS puts a lens to the awful things sisters do to one another and the absolute life-changing necessity of a sister's forgiveness.' ABIGAIL BERGSTROM 'Ambitious in form and scope, it covers childhood trauma, art and celebrity culture, the unfathomable bond between sisters, and much more' ELISSA SOAVE 'Unmissable, bold and moving. This is Capes' best novel yet.' SARA JAFARI 'Thoughtful and deeply human, Girls is a masterful take on family at its most complicated' PHOENICIA ROGERSON 'Phenomenal. GIRLS made me laugh, cry, and gave me all the feels in between. I'll be thinking about these characters for a very long time' LISA HALL 'Wonderful, wonderful storytelling and unforgettable characters' SARA NISHA ADAMS
