Love Life Loss - A Roller Coaster of Poetry Volume 2: Days with Dementia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781760411855)

"What do you do with a diagnosis of dementia? And especially younger-onset dementia? Kate Swaffer responds with love, life and torrents of words. Some of the words show loneliness and fear, exclusion, apprehension. But her strong theme is how to be a vigorous involved participant in the world of light, gardens, cats and, above all, people. Her poems affirm 'believe you can when others say you can't'. And on behalf of people with dementia, 'we are all real ' 'Like a good red wine or an old red rose', these poems are full of wisdom, understanding and a view of the world from someone with dementia, living through dementia but also above dementia." - Emeritus Professor Roly Sussex
