A Wild and Precious Life: A Recovery Anthology edited by Lily Dunn

Description

At some point in our lives we will all face the challenge of recovery - whether our own or that of someone we love - from addiction, physical illness, mental health issues or loss. Many of us heal and we may discover ways to live with our changed selves, to reclaim a life. We may find a new voice, or unearth a voice that has been submerged.

Vitally, recovery can mean community. A Wild and Precious Life brings together fiction, memoir and poetry to represent just such a community of writers: new, unheard voices alongside emerging and established authors.

Theirs are stories from the dark back alleys, the deep crevices of the mind, and from the ecstatic heights of life before, during and after recovery. They are stories of vulnerability but also of laughter, strength and joy.

These are voices that urgently need to be heard in all their variety.
