Poetry for the Dementia Journey: An AlzAuthors Anthology - Paperback

by Sue Fagalde Lick (Editor), Marianne Sciucco (Editor), Ann Campanella (Editor)

AlzAuthors, the global community of authors writing about Alzheimer's and dementia from personal experience to light the way for others, has gathered a collection of poetry on the dementia journey.

Here you will find a variety of voices writing from the different stages of caregiving: pre-diagnosis, after the diagnosis, years of care, end of life, and beyond. And you will encounter voices from many different caregiving situations: caring for a spouse or partner, a mother, father, grandparent, or sibling.

You will experience the pain, fear, and joy that accompanies a dementia diagnosis, as well as the love and the loss.

On April 18, 2023, these poets gathered for a two-hour poetry reading and shared their work, which you can watch on our YouTube channel or listen to on our podcast, Untangling Alzheimer's and Dementia.

Welcome to the journey.
