A Patchwork of Stories: chaplaincy in life-changing moments. Poetry and memoir.
It is said that in poetry, the unforeseen becomes the indispensable. So it is, too, with pain and hurt. The work of healing, and of poetry, is to open up spaces of possibility through the darkness of suffering. Judy Dinnen knows all this from deep within her professional work and in her very human soul. Her poems are flickering lights, insightful and humane.
The Rev’d Dr Mark Oakley, Dean of St John’s College, Cambridge
This is a heartfelt book: stories, poetry, pain, peace all find their places here. Dip in for a thoughtful moment. Dive in, and feel it weave its wisdom around you. A gem.
Kathryn Mannix, palliative care doctor and writer
