Only Air

Only Air is a deeply personal collection of poems which explore what it is like to go through a life-changing accident and then to re-exist in a world that is suddenly unfamiliar. It is a story of making sense of a new way of surviving and re-evaluating beliefs once held whilst trying to overcome barriers, prejudices and labels. Sometimes moving, other times a wry, humorous account of memories, this is part biographical with a healthy mix of reflection. This collection considers what it means to be part of a family, being alive when you don't conform, and making your journey when the way you perceive yourself is often very different to the ways others view you. At its very core, this is a discovery of what it means to be normal and to regrow.
