Hello friends,
Hope you are having a good end of summer.
In Issue 18, I’m thrilled and honored to present an excerpt from my sister’s memoir Fractured which is forthcoming by Second Story Press in September.
“Fractured is a compelling illumination of the challenges of acquired disability and the ways in which people with disabilities are sidelined and infantilised. Mockler, a psychotherapist, speaks with frank honesty about her family and friends’ reactions to her injury, and the hard-won lessons that she and those around her learned from her experience.” (Second Story Press, 2022)
You can read an excerpt from Fractured in Issue 18.
Below you’ll find some gatherings from Send My Love to Anyone.
Hope you enjoy!
Kathryn

I'm entering my Old Poet stage... I don't have experiences per se anymore, I just go into the backyard and remember I'm going to die

perhaps it’s comforting to think of the Earth
scratching at its ear (good dog!) and us no more
than fleas in its coat"
