I will turn the page and go now
and go to a place not here,
where dragons live and battles rage
and peace comes dropping slow…
Edited by Mandy Ross and Polly Wright, reading for Well-Being is proud to present Turning the Page, a collection of new poetry written by mental health service users, shown alongside the original poems that inspired them.
Turning the Page gives service users, staff, relatives and other readers insight into the experience of mental illness and the creative work it can inspire. It is published by Nine Arches Press, with support from Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust.
Turning the Page will be launched at Poem in Your Pocket at the Birmingham Rep on Wed Oct 21st.
