Marian Davies

In this collection of poetry, Marian Davies gives expression to the many thoughts and feelings she experienced during the final few years of the long period she spent undergoing psychodynamic therapy. As despair turns to hope, and denial to self-knowledge, Poems from My Therapy gives eloquent voice to the wide range of emotions the poet felt towards the end of her counselling. In using poetry to reflect on and further comprehend the new and sometimes uncomfortable understanding of herself and her past that her therapy brought about, Marian Davies creates searingly honest verse, full of passion, self-revelation and humanity.
