Lunar, Keisha Thompson
In association with Cultureword, Keisha presents a series of new poems alongside the script for award-winning play, Man on the Moon.
Step into a world that uses the language of mathematics, logic and science to explore the Black British experience, masculinity and mental health. These themes are pushed through the lens of Keisha’s relationship with her dad. A recluse who has mainly communicated with Keisha through letters, symbols and books.
The book features an introduction from University of Manchester’s Academic Lead for Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Dr Dawn Edge. “Thought-provoking, challenging, and inspirational by turns; this work affords insight into the impact of mental illness and the healing, redemptive power of love and forgiveness.”
