Shelagh Brennand
I had a heart attack and stroke and am living with aphasia and low vision. I had to relearn how to write and read again. I started writing poems and wondered if anyone else wrote poems after their stroke. I was so happy to find A Stroke of Poetry. I felt understood and connected, from Pennsylvania to Australia.
