Poetry about life after stroke

Rochelle M. Anderson’s poetry chapter book traces her experience from the early days after a stroke through years of gradual recovery and into the present. Aphasia affects her spoken and written communication, while the book also describes the full life she leads and the influence of her book club, crop art, teachers, and friends. Poetry becomes a means of expressing thoughts and feelings that communication difficulties can make harder to convey. The collection brings disability, recovery, creative expression, and everyday sources of connection into one personal account.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in poetry about disability and recovery
  • Readers seeking a personal account of living with stroke-induced aphasia
  • Readers interested in creative expression as a way to communicate experience

Book overview

Stormy Road: Reawakening from Stroke and Aphasia, by Rochelle M. Anderson, is a poetry chapter book that conveys, in vivid language, the peaks and valleys of recovering from stroke-induced aphasia. This book will give you emotional insight into what it's like to live with a disability involving written and oral communication. You will follow Rochelle from the initial days after her stroke, through her years of gradually getting better, all the way to the current day. Even though she has trouble talking, writing and communicating, Rochelle leads a full life. You will learn how her book club, crop art and some of her teachers and friends have influenced Rochelle's journey. Poetry, an artistic medium that might seem almost antithetical to her disability, has instead become a powerful therapeutic aid that allows her to express her innermost thoughts and feelings with honest reflection and humor.
