What an absolutely brilliant booklet this is!

“The creative brain: poems by brain injury survivors”, written and edited by members of the community is a raw, powerful and enlightening reminder of how words can connect people in their recovery and realisation of their journey and new life.

With a beautiful, dazzling painting on the front cover by Claire Laffoley, this extraordinary zine contains incredible powerful poems by (one of our very own trustees), Ryan Hepton, Sebastian and Afsana Elanko and the amazing Lorna Collins herself who has put this zine together and got it published.

We are proud to say that took part in one of these poems too at a recent event we attended with Lorna in Manchester.

If you would like to win a copy of this beautiful zine. Please message with your name and postal address and you could be a lucky winner to get this sent to you for free!
