Write Speak Recover

Write Speak Recover explores how poetry and performing are transformational art forms for mental health and recovery. WSR captures the subject's essence through medium format, b/w portraiture. We present the people behind the poems honouring their creativity, vulnerability and fearlessness. It is a reminder that healing processes, though deeply personal, carry similarities. WSR is continually open to submissions from poets who are using their art to heal from any form of dis-ease in their lives.
