The Dressing Gown Poet: Life. Loss. Love

Following her brush with death after suffering a sudden brain haemorrhage in 2022 and being told she may never walk again, Maia, a multi-award winning creative, Rasta, reiki healer from West London, was drawn to reflect on the thirty-three years of her life that had led up to that terrifying moment. Having experienced heartbreak and tremendous loss, including the murder of several close friends through knife and gun violence and the inconsolable loss of her young people and community in the tragic Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, Maia poured her energy into the creation of thirty-three pieces of heartfelt poetry in honour of each year of her life thus far. This thought-provoking yet uplifting collection of poetry traverses the pain of some failed relationships, unexpected deaths and battles with anxiety, leading the reader to discover the gift of healing and beauty in the harsh lessons learned. – ASIN: 1068664401 | ISBN13: 9781068664403 | ISBN-13: 978-1068664403
