If anyone had told me meeting a
very reserved woman from Siberia at a birthday party in Poland in October 2000
would inexorably change my life, I may have disbelieved them.
However that is how I met Yelena, who
became a valued friend and eventually my wife.
The poetry in my book records a journey
that spans fourteen years of my life, through a selection of forty-seven poems.
The poems record the journey that began in friendship, moved through love and
passion, with the final three years being the years where I had to face loss,
grief, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, the latter of which
followed a burglary and triggered the emergence of a traumatic event earlier in
my life.
The poems are honest, I didn’t write
them with a book in mind. In the beginning, I wrote them for Yelena but after
her death they were for me, to know and record where I was on my journey when I
felt so incredibly lost and without hope.
The decision to publish arrived when
belief in my recovery was reached after almost three years in the mental health
wilderness. It is my hope that in sharing my journey and experience I can
illuminate some of the dark days for others who may be struggling. I will do
whatever I need to do to stay my path to recovery because with hope comes
belief, with belief comes courage and with courage comes the strength.
All proceeds from the sales of this book will go to Rape Crisis Tyneside& Northumberland.
