The Happy Bus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780244031213)

Louisa Campbell, a former mental health nurse, grew up coping with her childhood by dissociating: splitting off difficult experiences into different parts of her personality. She writes as adult and child, therapist and patient, and even as a dog, as she charts the bumpy ride from dissociation, through anger, depression and anxiety to clarity, peace and joy. She hopes anyone who has had to lock away painful emotions might find something useful within the lines of her poems. She lives in Kent, England. * "Louisa Campbell's poetry is wild and daring. It crackles with giant passions and relentless, surging energy. By turns poignant, terrifying and exuberant, The Happy Bus steers the reader through a landscape of dazzling colours." - John McCullough "A great ear, her words link to each other for sound and affirmation; zany and there for us; a new voice negotiating with poetry, rather than someone trying to make poems in the style of." - Ira Lightman
