FLY DON'T FALL / MAD TRUTH + MISCHIEF TELLER

Fly Don’t Fall is a poetry anthology.

“Fly Don’t Fall is a collection of poetry chronicling my journey with my mental health and sense of self from the beginning of my project Mad Truth around three years ago, to now. It starts in places that are often dark, filled with desperation, alienation, and frustration at the inability to articulate the very thing which induced a continuous flow of dissatisfaction, pain and unease, and flows like a powerful river through my experiences in the last few years finding me now in a place of self acceptance, striving for the inner peace which eluded me throughout my childhood and into my late adolescence when the darkness in my life overwhelmed me and I was forced blessedly to start again.”

You can read more about the making of this work via Mad Truth’s guest blog for Mighty Creatives.

This collection of poetry is part of a large body of work by Mad Truth. Mad Truth is an arts organisation based around the power of creative expression for improving mental health and promoting personal growth.

Mad Truth is impacted and inspired by the power of artistic, cultural, musical and political movements. The ethos is to use creative expression as a remarkable tool for re-framing tragedy, trauma and mental illness in a way where these things no longer keep us from becoming our best selves but instead they can become a source of beauty, strength and resilience, transforming the lives of individuals and communities.

Through eclectic film screenings, exhibitions, installations and workshops Mad Truth explores the various ways we can unlock our innate potential through the medium of creative expression.
