Synopsis

Being a migraineur, having a child who suffers even more severely, I felt every word, every phrase, EVERY poem deeply, and have a few new remedies to consider. ~Mercedes Lewis, Poet, author of Glimpses of a Fractured Soul

This poem collection includes a range of emotions felt while experiencing migraine headaches. Pain? Yes, and sorrow, anger, hopelessness. But the poems were written to help the poet survive the pain—to have hope for a cure, an end to the suffering. Readers may relate to the pain, because haven't we all suffered? At its core, the collection shows us we are all in this together.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Sandra de Helen published her first poem at the age of fourteen. Her English teacher, Janice Wallace, submitted the poem to a teacher's magazine and surprised Sandra with a copy in print. The poem was about abortion, which was illegal at the time (and may be again soon in this country).In her twenties, Sandra published a few poems in newspapers, which spurred her to take a Creative Writing Class at the local community college. The [male] professor predicted she would never make a good poet because she didn't "write like a man." The next year she joined the women's movement and turned to writing plays. Forty years later, she picked up Sage Cohen's book, Writing the Life Poetic: An Invitation to Read and Write Poetry, and resumed writing poems like a woman. Sandra also writes novels, essays, theater reviews, and a weekly newsletter.Sandra is a long-time resident of Portland, Oregon, where she lives with her daughter, chickens, and cats.
