About the book

This is a bilingual anthology of new writing (poetry) from 13 women poets of Wales who suffer with pain and/or chronic illness and health conditions. The aim of the book is to bring about change in legislation, and a voice for the women of Wales (and beyond) who are not given the autonomy and power of voice to speak up about their own bodies within the patriarchal healthcare system. The book will be distributed in GP surgeries and healthcare settings and is designed to open up conversations for the women and men that use them and work in them. The book is edited by Hanan Issa and Gwyneth Lewis.
