Summary

Small Cures is at once a compelling reminder to anyone struggling with heartbreak, mental health, or trauma, that they are not alone, an inspirational manual on how to survive, and a stirring call to arms for self-love.  This unique volume brings together 150 poems into one seamless narrative based on the different stages of an "illness" – diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.  Through words that are as breathtakingly sparse and raw, as they are honest and memorable, Hicks-Wilson's soothing and soulful voice serves as the gentle guide to self-healing we all need.   'darling, you feel heavy because you are too full of truth.  open your mouth more.  let the truth exist  somewhere other than  inside your body.'
