Acceptance - a life changed by stroke is a short book of poems by Helen McIntosh which gives an insight into what is like to suffer a stroke. 'Take off your shoes when you read these poems. Take them off, for you are on sacred ground. Helen treats us to the privilege of seeing her soul's response to the winter of 1987. As always, we rejoice at the coming of spring. Relax. Read patiently. Poetry is to be experienced. Listen to the words. Listen to the silences. Helen speaks to us all. Having been called to the exalted vocation of teacher, Helen continues to lead us along new paths. Thank you Helen, for every time you lifted your wrist, isolated the appropriate finger and struck the right key of your word processor.
