Description

The Hard Word Box by Sarah Hesketh is a poignant collection of poems and verbatim interviews that explore the complexities of memory and imagination. Penned in the Margins, 2014.

Over the course of 20 weeks, poet Sarah Hesketh spent time with residents at a residential care home for people with dementia, capturing their stories and experiences through her poetry. The result is a deeply compassionate and inventive meditation on language, loss, and the human condition.

This powerful book reveals the ways in which dementia can be both a source of suffering and a catalyst for creativity, as Hesketh's poetic voice channels moments of tenderness, humour, and insight into the fragility of memory and the limits of language.
