Book Description
'Though we have come a long way this crippling, debilitating, often terminal illness is still shockingly misunderstood. This is my story that you have asked me to tell. Those who suffer from depression will understand and those who don't will hopefully learn how to.' This is the book that Denise Welch wished for as she found herself exhausted and defeated after yet another visit from The Unwelcome Visitor - the name she gives to the episodes of clinical depression she has suffered from over the past 30 years. For so many, understanding their mental health is a leap into the unknown, and they are left grappling with the physical and emotional fallout without any guidance or someone to tell them 'you're not alone and you can live a happy and successful life alongside your illness'. Within these pages Denise reveals her ongoing journey from breakdowns to breakthroughs and through self-destruction to self-acceptance. Typically candid, Denise brings her trademark humour and honesty to a conversation that we urgently need to have, and shows readers it is brave and courageous to be open and vulnerable, and you too can take back control.

Winter, the Unwelcome Visitor
Author: Shaista Justin
Publisher: Tsar Publications
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Winter, the unwelcome visitor is a five-sction poetic cycle amending the ordinary with the extraordinary. The work shows versatilitiy in style and form and yet maintains poetic excellence: a careful balance of metaphor, imagery and though. Always experimental, there is no one style that characterizes this book. From brief and academic, to wordy and effusive, the style shifts according to the subject. Unstintingly political, unforgivingly critical of commonly held ideas about the relationship of humans to the natural world and to each other, the relevance of this work to both a Canadian and an international audience is undeniable. Some of these poems are vivid evocations of South Africa's Western Cape, and elegies of loss; others capture moments of longing and desire between lovers, as well as passages of bitterness. - JM Coetzee
