Inside Out: Issue 2: Spring 2009

Poet Laureate Andrew Motion reveals how writing a memoir allowed him to finally lay his childhood demons to rest. Louise DeSalvo, author of "Writing as a Way of Healing", explains how writing has kept her healthy, despite coming from a family with a history of mental illness. We look at how poetry has helped Wendy Cope through a long depression, and, with much excitement, print previously unpublished work from both Wendy and Andrew.
