Poetry for mental wellbeing


Many of us have found the last year tough. There has been a huge toll on mental health, with many feeling lost and hopeless. During the last few lockdowns I have spent much of my time coping with my own thoughts and emotions by writing poetry, and I know a lot of others have turned to the same art to express themselves. It can be very cathartic. 

In January I was delighted to be invited to speak on radio about my poetry, and how I coped during my own illness with Covid-19 back in November and December. This is a frank interview, and you will also hear me read one or two poems.
