This beautiful poem of a book, looking into your voice~the poetic and eccentric realities of alzheimer’s, is a collection of conversations offering alternative and beautiful insights into the Alzheimer’s mind. Celebrating the revelatory eloquence of the altered realities of dementia, these vignettes are the voice of author Cathie Borrie’s mother (Joan Borrie), recorded during her experience with Alzheimer’s. The mother’s voice weaves throughout the work with insight, humor and an astonishing poetic sensibility, challenging the negative stereotypes pervasive in the current and often limiting geography of dementia.
