Description
The poems in this collection share what it is like to be diagnosed with and to live with Parkinson’s — the sense of isolation a person can feel as they face changes to friendships, jobs, and the opportunities to participate in social occasions. They also capture the moments of humour, intimacy, and joy that are experienced despite, and sometimes because of, the challenges of chronic illness.
With honesty, the collection speaks to the complexity of living with an often-misrepresented progressive illness. It celebrates the creativity and resilience of those with Parkinson’s and invites all readers – whether familiar with the condition or not – to listen more closely, and more compassionately.
I can’t wait to share this book with you!
“Pill-Rolling Fingers” is based on 3 years of community-based research. It brings together personal poems from my own experience of early-onset Parkinson’s and research poems crafted from the stories of 48 other New Zealanders living with the condition.
