Poetry for health. This is a poetry collection produced by Leeds Libraries in 1996 with my mum's poems in it too. When I was living at home, I grew up finding poems scribbled by my mum all over the house. On a shopping list in the kitchen, on scraps of papers in bedrooms, on paper bags in the shop she set up on her own and ran after Dad died ever so young, everywhere. I collected them from time to time. And she joined poetry groups, even reading her poems despite being nervous and shy. Yesterday I sat with her reading through the collection and her reminiscing and saw the poetry help with getting well. I look forward to her writing her poems again soon ❤️ thank Leeds Library #leedslibraries #poetrycommunity #urdupoetry #mothers #health #gettingwell #poetrylove #libraries #shairee (at City of Bradford) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFoBR3AYTM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l66wf7c4a2uq
