Penumbra

When Elizabeth Miller's mother was diagnosed with dementia in 2015, Elizabeth turned to poetry as a way of processing her emotions.
'Penumbra: Poems about Dementia' is a collection which portrays one family's complex journey through this challenging disease. Some poems are light-hearted and whimsical, while others are more complex and encourage deep reflection.
Accompanying notes illuminate the wider context of the narrative. To offer a sense of perspective and comfort, Biblical references and aspects of theology have also been included.
This book will appeal to readers who are seeking a better understanding of dementia and the way it impacts our lives. Those who care, or have cared, for someone with dementia will find it an invaluable resource.
