Word Round
-
- Over the last two years, stand-up poet Rob Gee went into a variety of
inpatient psychiatric settings around Nottingham, Northampton, Kettering and Leicester to
compose poems with groups of patients. He would act as scribe, while people in the room
contributed ideas, jokes, lines and rhymes. This book is a selection of those
poems.
Featuring poems from inpatients in acute, elderly, forensic, intensive care,
child/adolescent, eating disorders, learning disability, and rehabilitation/supported care
settings.
The art work featured in this collection was created by BrightSparks Arts
in Mental Health workshop participants at the Bradgate Unit.
