A debut poetry collection from a talented, fresh-voiced poet, People: Unfinished Poems, is a lyrical, thought-provoking, and moving selection that observes and enjoys the beauty and strangeness of people, exploring their connections to themselves, each other, and the places in which they live. With particular attention paid to family, friendship, love, belonging, and acceptance, the collection is a real celebration of human individuality and connection. Following a late diagnosis of ADHD, one strand of Ruth's poetry explores and foregrounds the condition; the reader is invited into a mind that is endlessly thinking and never truly at rest. For Ruth, one result of this is intricate patterns and fragments of poetry sprawled across endless notebooks. This collection includes several poems presented in the poet's own handwriting, decorated in much the same way as her notebooks, giving the reader an intimate insight into some of the artistic and creative aspects of neurodiversity.
