About this audiobook
The stereotypical image of a poet is one of unknown talent starving in a garret and who’s faithfulness and legacy to the art is discovered only after their death.
In some cases this is undoubtedly true, but Poets being human and with the same building blocks of physical and mental health as the rest of us, also had the same afflictions and problems as the rest of us.
The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents.
In this volume we bring together the poems and verse of those wordsmiths whose lives were corroded by depression and the black moods it wrapped them in. For many the condition would return again and again often deepening into other more malign conditions as well.
The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents.
