Placenta

by Amy Lloyd

Amy has known mental illness since the age of 12 and uses poetry to convey the struggles that come with these complex disorders, featuring topics of anxiety, depression, love, time, trauma, and sanity. Placenta is a sequel to The Asylum Upstairs and presents an introspective relationship between narrative and reality, communicating how their life and experiences have changed as they have matured and grown. Healing is not linear, and this book shows just how much there is to say about pain – haunting, chaotic and with fragments of prose littered along the way; Placenta.

[Dani Lloyd · Rating 5 out of 5]

A stunning perspective on the raw and romantic nature of derealisation and decay, reminiscent of Julia Walters’ ‘Our Wives Under The Sea’
