SUICIDE (Vol.1)
A collection of poetry and short prose from writers around the world on the themes of suicide and self-harm.
First published 2019, Updated December 2022
The FIRST in our Poetry for Mental Health book series.
It is undeniable that putting thoughts, feelings and emotions into words, on paper, either with poetry or in a short story format, can be both therapeutic and an incredibly effective method of self-help and healing. In this brave and uncompromising collection - which also includes a number of personal interviews - forty-eight writers and poets in countries around the world including:
Australia, Bangladesh, Bahrain, Benin, Brazil, England, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malawi, Malta, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Scotland, South Africa, Switzerland and the
USA, creatively explore the themes of suicide and self-harm, either from their own personal perspectives and experiences, or from the experiences of friends, family and people close by. An anthology on these subjects is undoubtedly thought-provoking and emotional, but also positive and uplifting too as, for many, putting their feelings into words has set many on the road to creativity, healing and ultimately recovery.
ALL profits from the sales of
SUICIDE go towards promoting and publishing poetry for positive mental health.
