Description
Not Much to Say Really is a poignant and humorous account of extended conversations with four elderly patients in hospital. As they reflect on their lives, these individuals share remarkable candour and good humour.
The poems and artworks in this book offer a glimpse into the lives of others, revealing our shared desires, fears, and hopes. Kelvin Corcoran's characteristic technique of layering voices, places, and times creates a powerful exploration of how a life is made, re-made, and re-told through history and language.
This work conveys the miracle of ordinary events recalled, from births to deaths, weddings to international travel, and social change. It is a moving and thought-provoking collection that proves the value of poetry at the intersection of medicine and human experience.
