Well, its been a couple of weeks since book launch
day and I am overwhelmed by the positive response I have received!!
The reviews on Austin Macauley and Amazon have been
better than I have ever imagined! But, the best achievement has been the amount
of people that have shared their stories with me on mental health issues
and how they have suffered.
Let me share with you some:
‘Ive known Sam for many years or at least I thought
that I had. As is often the case, we only see the person that they present as,
whilst being completely unaware of how that person really feels deep down. The
poems written in this book clearly come from a very deep emotional place.
Anybody who has experienced poor mental health or had to go through something
that was traumatic in life for them will easily be able to relate to the
feelings and emotions that are so accurately described in this book of poems. I
hope that for anyone who takes the time to read it, that the sun starts to
break through those dark clouds for you..
‘People talk about depression & mental health,
but unless you suffer from it yourself you never really no how a person is
feeling & how it effects them, especially as people are able to put on
another face & you would have no idea about what a struggle it has been
just for them to get out of bed. Reading these poems have been a real eye
opener for me, these are fantastic poems & certainly given me a better
understanding of how somebody is feeling deep down. A brilliant little read
which I have read over many times & would highly recommend!
This book is absolutely amazing. The poems are
absolutely from the heart and you can feel it. Well done Sam, you are so brave,
thank you for sharing
This has inspired me to continue with my
writing, maybe not about depression but something else, I have no idea
where this path will take me but I now know that I can achieve what I once
thought was the impossible, that people are reading what I have composed and
like it and that’s a fact!
