Kirsty Dwan

Kirsty has enjoyed poetry from an early age and had her first poem published in 1992. Her life has seen many challenges and triumphs and she is a successful and ambitious career woman as well as a mother of two fabulous children.

During her life, she has struggled with her mental health, and it was not until later in her life, when her father died, that she realised how much her life events had affected her. Whilst studying to be a qualified mental health first aider in 2018, Kirsty rekindled her love of poetry as an outlet for her struggles. Kirsty has written this collection to aid understanding of mental health, and to promote the need to be able to express yourself when you are in a dark place.
