| A book of poems that explores the fundamental questions resonating within each of us about human nature. Jenny Symons, in her powerful and genuine voice, asks us to 'spare a thought', pause our hectic routines for a moment and reflect on the quintessential aspects of our reality. Hers is an enthralling call for love, altruism, respect and admiration for nature, integrity and self-assertion. Emerging from the darkness of her mental illness, Symons resurrects to new life thanks to the energy of her poetry, through which we ourselves are given the chance to re-examine our truest nature. '...Following Jenny Symons' journey through hospitalisation due to schizophrenia, the collection navigates the difficult waters of the poet's on-going battle with mental illness...' |

"Spare a Thought is a collection of poems which asks life questions and explore these in a honest and humble way. The author uses nature as refuge from society build by men without taking into account its humanity. The author is accepting the difficulties and sadness of life as much as the happiness and beauty of it. Every poem made me think of someone I care and love thinking of their feelings they try to share but not always can express. I wanted to read out loud every poem to make her words become my own. The language of the author is accessible and comfortable to read. This book is for young readers when questions about life emerge as much as for mature readers who have made their own experience and have loved and lived themselves." -- Caroline Doucet
