Waiting for My Clothes

By Leanne O'Sullivan

Subjects: Poetry, Women authors, Irish poetry, Psychiatric hospitals, Eating disorders

Description: <em>Waiting for My Clothes</em>, her first collection, traces a deeply personal journey, from the traumas of eating disorder and low self-esteem to the saving powers of love and positive awareness. Leanne O’Sullivan has been writing poetry since she was 12, and began these poems not thinking they would ever form part of a book, but ‘writing down the reasons I should live for’ and then ‘becoming addicted to looking at things to find the beauty in them’.
