Description

The voices of millions of people, many children, living with rare diseases are often unheard. People living with rare diseases are silenced through stigma and discrimination. Poetry gives its writers power through self-expression. In this magnificent project, Dr Ramamoorthi teaches people who would otherwise be silenced to express themselves through poetry. By teaching poetry as a method of self-expression, the teacher gives voices to the silent. Not only are the poems eye-opening and heartrending, but this book includes a teaching guide so that the method is scalable. I wish for a world where people are valued for who they are and not for what they appear; this beautiful collection of poetry takes us one step closer.
