The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork. But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their actual, salary-paying job.

In this volume we bring together those professionals whose services we require when our health falters. Their skills and manner guide us through the sometimes difficult journey back to restored vigour. In their clever use of words and verse they are equally adept.
