Maranta

by Rachel Paxton-Hall

In Maranta the nameless narrator recounts her experience of depression. She struggles to come to terms with the time lost to the 'pepper-black smoke' in her lungs, and watches on as those around her continue to live their lives. With the help of her doctor, she gradually emerges from an ashy nightmare into a world of colour.

Beautiful narrative poetry that leads you to the depths of despair but is ultimately uplifting
