Böcker av Teah Mackay

"""The tricky part of illness is that, as you go through it, your values are constantly changing." -Paul Kalanithi'Seasons"""" was inspired by the life cycles of hundreds of people and patients neuroscientist Teah Mackay met on operating tables, patients rooms and morgues. Her poetry was curated on the backs of patient reports and in the margins of coffee stained university textbooks. The dynamic and lyrical language of 'Seasons' is broken down into four chapters; summer, autumn, winter and spring, with each chapter examining how the human spirit, like the seasons, changes in the best and worst ways. Mackay writes with a heart on her sleeve and a scalpel in her hand, cutting through a lifetime of regret and insecurity to expose universal truths of what it is to be vulnerable, what it is to fight and what it is to surrender.""
