In The Palm Of A Spider’s Hand
Join 'In the palm of a spider's hand' author Gerald King, in conversation with Editor and Publisher Rachel Arthur, to launch this vital new poetry collection from an extraordinary talent.
About In The Palm Of A Spider’s Hand
A groundbreaking work that challenges the very fabric of what we think we know about dementia, creative thinking and the power of words, Gerald King’s In the palm of a spider’s hand is a radical act of defiance against the conventions of both literature and life. Diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s at 55, King was told he’d never work with words again. Today, his debut poetry collection not only defies that prognosis but also pushes back against the suffocating stereotypes perpetuated by mainstream media.
A former Technical Architect, King was immediately retired from work upon diagnosis. Join us at Collective Architecture for a poignant event including insights from behind the scenes of this vital debut collection, meet the author signings, readings and refreshments.
