GLIMMERS: A poetic journey
What happens when life is measured not in milestones, but in moments?
A Poetic Journey is an intimate collection of poetry exploring the realities of living with chronic illness and longstanding mental health challenges. Through words that move between darkness, uncertainty, resilience and hope, C. A. Ashitey captures the complexity of navigating life when every day brings it own possibilities and its own limitations.
This is not a journey of instant transformation or easy answers. Instead, it is an honest exploration of learning to accept each day on its own terms, finding strength in small victories and recognising that even during the hardest moments, there can be something worth holding on to.
From the shadows of difficult days to the quiet warmth of unexpected moments of light, these poems explore vulnerability, endurance, reflection and the search for hope.
GLIMMERS is a reminder that progress does not always announce itself. Sometimes it is found in simply getting through the day. Sometimes it is a fleeting moment of peace, a reason to smile, a breath of calm, or a tiny glimmer of light in the darkness.
For anyone who has struggled, adapted, endured or simply kept going, this collection offers a compassionate
You don't have to conquer every day. Sometimes, you only have to meet it where you are.
