‘A Collection of Wildflowers’ by Charly White
A Collection of Wildflowers is an eccentric amalgamation of poems, thoughts, questions and simple words written during the authors expeditions around the world. From Welsh mountains, Parisian cafés, temples in Thailand and train journeys in Canada, these words offer the reader a sanctuary to escape the constantly shifting world and to connect with nature, their own mind and the people around them. This collection of poetry invites the reader to join the author in her journey to acknowledge every experience, however mundane, every emotion, however raw, and the undeniable beauty that exists both within us and within nature.
MENTAL HEALTH
It is undeniable that putting thoughts, feelings and emotions into words, on paper, either with poetry or in a short story format, can be both therapeutic and an incredibly effective method of self-help and healing. In this brave and uncompromising collection, 99 writers and poets around the world explore the themes of mental health, either from their own personal perspectives and experiences, or from the experiences of friends, family and people close by. Covering a broad range of mental health issues, an anthology on this subject is undoubtedly thought-provoking and emotional, but also positive and uplifting too as, for many, putting their feelings into words has set many on the road to creativity, healing and ultimately recovery.
