Heather King Livres

L'écriture de Heather King explore le terrain complexe de l'expérience humaine. Elle décrit son travail comme "la tragicomédie de la croix", abordant des sujets allant de la dépendance et des crises professionnelles à la conversion, la nourriture, l'argent, le cancer, l'amour non partagé, la prière et la guérison après un avortement. King s'inspire de son propre parcours, marqué par des années d'alcoolisme, de sobriété et une conversion au catholicisme. Ses essais et mémoires offrent un mélange unique de vulnérabilité et d'intuition pointue.

When I lost the love of my life, the pain was indescribable. I moved just before it all happened so was away from all my friends, who although sympathetic could not imagine how afraid and lonely I was. I found a counsellor through friends and was able to express my fears and anger. He suggested that I might find a way of expressing all those feelings on paper. I did and it came out as poetry, now printed in this book. It is my wish that others going through the worst time of their lives might find comfort in the poems.
