Sickness doesn't mean death
Inspired by: A Sick condition

A gut punch collection of poetry that illuminates a storm from a small, yet beautiful lantern. Shedding light on the heavier, sometimes more stigmatized aspect of healing: the effort, the rage, the tiredness, and how all of these are part of the process and worth embracing because they are integral.
Benedict's words illuminate the power and catharsis that comes from embracing all part of your individual relationship with tragedy. He puts it himself as:
bad things don't make you stronger, but your true self will crawl out of the ground to face the sun again and you will feel the warmth".
Drawing endless inspiration from nature, his work features word play that incorporates imagery that stuns with emotional undertones that cannot be misinterpreted.
Sickness Doesn't Mean Death, Every time has something everyone can relate to, and is perfect for anyone navigating emotions question themselves or the world around them, re- evaluating memory and/or processing the complexities of the human experience.
Addendum - On this episode, whilst writing down i was listening to The kings Affirmation by in.iko
