The Sharp End of the Blade...

The Sharp End of the Blade...

A Poem by Angellesa
"

For weeks now I have thought about Val's new book that will soon be on the book shelves. This saying keeps going through my mind. So please do not think I am contemplating suicide. It is brought up by the name of a book. I do not know if this is the n

That is all I wanted to say.

hmmm this is a really difficult theme to deal with , dark emotions always are.
And there's always the risk you'll offend or concern someone.
There are two books on this theme whcih may be worth a look
Mark Haddon "A spot of bother" and
Nick Hornby " A long way down"
I've read a few things that deal with this theme by other authors all difficult to write and difficult to read.
This doesn't mean they shouldn't be written (IMHO)
