Samantha Crilly's first collection of poems - Hope through Poetry - was inspired by her personal experience of mental illness and recovery, and by what she had learned from friends and family. Five years after it was first enthusiastically received, she returns with a new collection that draws on her ongoing recovery together with her work as an actor and script writer raising awareness of mental health struggles. Giving honest and relatable insights into what it means to have a mental illness and what causes and triggers may lie behind it, these insightful poems are here as comforting companions and to promote understanding and acceptance.
This collection of moving and lyrical poems gives poignant insights and casts new light on what it means to experience mental illness. Samantha's beautiful words stay with you long after you have turned the final page.

Since retiring I've tried to offer others a little bit of hope when all they can see is despair. I've tried to offer a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Samantha's amazing poems do all of that and more.
Frank Bruno MBE, former Heavyweight Boxing World Champion
Samantha has used her own personal experience and flare for poetry to create this powerful collection of poems, which the reader will find informative and relatable. A 'must-read' for anyone affected by mental or physical ill health - Well done, Samantha.
