This book is a collection of poetry about what it is to either find or lose hope.
We are living, breathing beings that find and lose hope on our journeys. Many personal poems written in a more generic form than my last book 'Love/Resistance/Rebellion'.
The rainbow is often a symbol of hope but appears fleetingly in our lives and it is in such moments that we discover meaning, purpose or in dark times; a reason to go on.
Hope is a very important metaphor in those who have experienced trauma and those who have become involved with the mental health system.
This book is by an author who has experienced severe mental illness and who has an ability and insight to reflect on his past despite the enduring side effects of his medication, which both control the illness and impede some of his thinking abilities to a small extent.
