Life isn't for the faint-hearted - nor is living with chronic illness. Grief, acceptance, loneliness, friendship, small joys, healing moments, new perspectives: here are forty-one short poems that offer bite-sized comfort and connection, for anyone in need of a tonic.

This brand-new debut poetry collection includes helpful resources for Long Covid.

Since then, her work has appeared in Good Housekeeping magazine and Pennine Platform, and her poetry on invisible illness has been adopted as a resource for primary care medical students.
