Flying with Paper Wings Online Book Launch
About
Join us as we release the updated edition of Flying with Paper Wings: Reflections on Living with Madness by Sandy Jeffs. The book will be launched by Jackie Yowell, the editor who encouraged and guided Sandy through the process of writing this book.Sandy Jeffs was among the first to start speaking publicly about living with a mental illness, and much of her writing has been about her struggle to live a full life despite this, including in eight volumes of poetry. She is well-known as a community educator, speaking to doctors and psychiatrists, at community health centres, and educational institutions. She has been honoured in the Victorian Honour Roll of Women, Her Place Women’s Museum, and with an OAM in 2020.
Flying with Paper Wings offers privileged insights into madness – medical, social, personal – as well as disturbing reflections on its causes and its care. It is also a story of how poetry can become a personal saviour in the face of nearly irresistible forces.
