Runner up for Best Anthology (Saboteur Awards 2018) <p>With over 600 submissions, poets from around the world put their pens to paper to create this anthology, enthused by a common goal to raise money for UK mental health charity, Mind. With poems focusing on mental health from a wide range of experiences, this book aims to continue the worldwide conversation about mental health.</p> <p>'These poems crackle with the electricity of experience and sing with the effort of rendering that experience in language. This is work that stands a few inches away from your face and tells you tales that shudder with a terrible beauty; these voices must be listened to because what they are saying is something that all of us, whoever we are, need to know.' Ian McMillan</p> <p>The profits from this book go to UK Charity, Mind.</p> Trigger warnings by chapter:Section One: References include war, depression, grief, alcoholism, bulimia, trauma, suicideSection Two: Sexual abuse, self harm, suicide threat, Borderline personality disorder, electro shock therapy, razorsSection Three: Postpartum depression, hospital wardSection Four: Anxiety, pills, Borderline personality disorder, eating disorderSection Five: PovertySection Six: Alzheimer'sSection Seven: DepressionSection Eight: Therapy
