About this work

Description

Heart Haiku is a series of collaborative zines of patient-produced short-form poetry. Following a call for contributions on experiences of heart disease through the format of haiku, Laura Donald asked: "What are the symptoms of your heart condition? How do they make you feel? What impact do they have on your life? Are other people aware of your symptoms? How do they respond? Or are your symptoms invisible? If not, do you wish they were? Have you found an ingenious way to manage your symptoms? Whatever your thoughts about the symptoms of heart disease, I want to hear them!" The haikus featured in this zine were contributed as comments on heartytales.co.uk--More information can be found on the zine maker's website. https://heartytalescouk.wordpress.com/2020/09/01/a-haiku-or-two-symptoms/
