Why everyone who works in mental health needs to read Things Only Borderlines Know by Olivia Tuck pennyshutt.wordpress.com/2024/04/03/why… Olivia Tuck ∞🌈 (she/her) ✨Mab Jones✨

A poem about having to take time off work sick for #NaPoWriMo

Reading this, I feel that, if no one ever reads my work again, I have done enough. Thank you, Penny Shutt, for giving my book your time and space, and for fighting the good fight when it comes to looking after some of the world's most vulnerable young people.💔 #bpd #poetry

On Long Covid, my pink grapefruit smell ghost and not smelling a single fart since 2020 pennyshutt.wordpress.com/2024/04/08/on-…

Bloody hell, this poem

Withdrawing this key mental health service for doctors (who need to be well enough to provide same to our patients) - is an inexplicable decision. Plainly put: I manage mental health services and need well doctors. I've signed - thank you Dr Rachel Clarke for publicising.

My poetry pal Michael Brown reminded me this week If you’re not getting rejected you’re not valuing your work by finding it an audience Which was consoling as was receiving this The Alchemy Spoon anthology containing a poem from my pamphlet :)

Originally written for a young person who reached out to me for help, this poem is actually now helping me.

a beautiful friend passed away last night. in her honour, here’s the last poem she shared with me 12 days ago. she sent it after a conversation we had about how poetry often holds clear pointers for spiritual practice, hidden in plain sight. like her favourite lines here:

Friends, I don't know when or if my mental health will let me return here, but I've put a few words together in the voice of a father, a parent, a witness to what the world is doing, and I hope they do some good. 🕯️

Something we could do better in hospitals is how we listen to people in distress. Generally we seem to shut people down, or minimise, or we pathologise. But just 'being alongside' on a human level seems a long way off. Learning some basics about containment would be even better.

Some stunning poems at today’s prize reading 😊
