商品簡介
商品簡介
These poems represent the author`s experience of severe illness and near death. The author`s final few months as a psychotherapist in a National Health Service clinic had been interrupted by the illness, and so his professional identity became a preoccupation. Reflections on the state of the profession came from a new perspective.
The title piece, Death of a Psychotherapist, is a collage of words and images that express the mental fragmentation of that period as well as the search for meaning and wholeness. Dreams, or hallucinations, were indistinguishable from reality. Thoughts and memories came from other poets, especially the Greek poet C. P. Cavafy, who seemed to be present in these “visions” and helped symbolize the trauma.
The shorter poems came after the acute phase of the author`s illness, which is still the central theme but as a challenge being met rather than an overwhelming immersion. They are altogether quieter and more meditative than the long poem but capture some specific experiences that may be common to those who go through such intense periods of illness and recovery. The poems are followed by a short discussion of their context and process of creation.
