This event will showcase and launch Head-Lines - an anthology
of creative writing produced by members of The
Write Way, a Sheffield-based writing group whose members have experienced
coma, brain injury, or both. Head-Lines
is an
eclectic mix of poetry and prose exploring a vast array of post-coma experiences
and ways of coping with brain injury. At this official launch event, some of
the writers will perform live readings and discuss their work and experiences. The event is organised by Matt Colbeck, a
researcher in the School of English at the University of Sheffield.
