I so enjoyed this poem yesterday from Gloriana Casey, one of the poets with work in Migraine Expressions, that I wanted to share and spread its message.
“VOICE OF THE LIBERTY BELL”
by Gloriana Casey for 7 /4/ 2009
In Philadelphia, I live,
a grand and giant bell.
And long my life, and journeys made.
the stories I can tell. (more…)
The Book"
A migrainiac’s journey.” That’s what I wanted to call my blog. So why didn’t I? Because I don’t want to in any way contribute to the misconceptions and stereotypes of migraine disease and the millions of people who have it. Migraine is not psychological. It is a physical, neurobiological disease. Those of us who live with migraine are just like people who live with epilepsy, diabetes, Parkinson’s or any other major disease or disorder. Another reason is that I wanted this blog to also be about other aspects of LIFE, the larger journey we share. (more…)
I wanted to publish a book of written and visual art, creative expressions of people who live with migraine, to help promote awareness and understanding of it. The book is done. Now I want to talk about it, feature some of the work, writers and artists, and provide a place for anyone with an interest in the book, migraine, other chronic pain issues, art, poetry, essays, photography, publishing, health and advocacy issues, and maybe even a sprinkling of current events and politics, to connect. Welcome to this migraine and life journey!
