Stop The World I Want To Get Off: Poetry For When You Want To Leave The Planet But Don'T Have Billions To Build A Rocket

A collection of 60 poems that offer heartfelt and humorous insight on the messiness of being human. Jacky Power, also known as The Therapeutic Poet, brings her experience and wisdom as a qualified psychotherapist, mother and recovering human to this collection of poetry which offers a sparkle of humour and hope, despite the weightiness of the world. Poetry about grief, healing, mental health, social justice, finding hope, and for women who have lost their dance moves. As Jacky shares, 'When I'm feeling fearful, I have a choice. I can either believe it, feed it, watch it grow ears and fangs and viciousness, or I can look it right in the eye and sing it a song. That is what my poems do.' These poems were first performed in Jacky's show 'Stop the world I want to get off' and track her top 10 reasons why she wants to leave the planet. With such an eclectic mix of subjects, you are sure to find many poems which resonate. If you, or someone you know is dealing with worries, cancer, mental illness, disappointment, uncertainty or pee peeing when during PT then this book is a great gift for yourself or someone else. Feel less alone, more understood and truly seen with this compassionate, non judgmental, entertaining read.
