Can light shine from the darkness of disability? Is there anything to gain from a life of being a young carer? Is there hope for any of us? This book may give some answers. 'Poetic Persuasion: The Young Carer’s Ink' is a collection of poetry written by Emmanuel Borges-Da-Silva, a former young carer. The poems within this collection capture the experiences of young carers, individuals who take on significant caring responsibilities for a family member or loved one who is ill or disabled. In addition, Emmanuel paints an intimate portrait of the human experience by delving into topics such as grief, hope, love, masculinity and faith in God. Written in a compelling and accessible style, the book champions a series of poems that are both beautiful and heartbreaking. The poems are filled with inspiring, uplifting words which will bring about inner strength and resilience, as well as a sense of empowerment. This collection is a moving and thought-provoking read for anyone who has ever been a young carer, known a young carer, and anyone who has ever known hardship, loss, love and hope, which should be everyone. There’s a little something in here for everyone. With every turn of the page, readers are encouraged to let go of their preconceived notions and be poetically persuaded to change their perspective for the better. Whether you are looking for comfort in times of sorrow or seeking inspiration to live a more meaningful life, this collection is a testament to the transformative power of poetry and a must-read for anyone on a journey of self-discovery. This is Emmanuel’s tribute to his upbringing, his family, himself and to you. This was made for you.
