| Poetry with Sandy Jeffs |
Sandy
has lived with schizophrenia for 33 years. She has spoken publicly about
mental health issues for over 20 years advocating on behalf of those who
have been silenced by their mental illness. She has published five books
of poetry which deal with the desperate subjects of madness, domestic
violence, the trial and tribulations of playing midweek ladies’ tennis and
the mad world in which we live. Poetry can allow us to explore the uncharted terrain of our inner world in a productive and creative way. But most of all, writing poetry can be fun. Sandy hopes to install in everyone the enjoyment that comes from creating a poem. |
