Only Air is a
deeply personal collection of poems which explore what it is like
to go through a life changing accident and then to re-exist in a world that is
suddenly unfamiliar. It is a story of making sense of a new way of surviving
and beliefs once held whilst trying to overcome barriers, prejudices and
labels. Sometimes moving other times a wry humorous account of memories, this
is part biographical with a healthy mix of reflection. This collection considers
what it means to be part of a family, being alive when you don’t conform, and
making your journey when the way you perceive yourself is often very different
to the ways others observe you. At its very core, this is a discovery of what
it means to be normal and to regrow.
