Illustrated Nature Poetry: An Anthology: Large Print: A dementia-friendly selection of much-loved verses by British poets
$11.99
Description
Book Synopsis: Poetry is so valuable for people living with mild cognitive loss. It can stimulate memories and create a sense of connection and wellbeing. However, the well-worn anthologies on the bookshelf can now seem overwhelming – and the print is way too small to read!
The solution: excerpts from the same poems, but presented in an uncluttered, appealing format. From outside, this book looks like an attractive nature poetry anthology. Inside, there are verses from classic poems, but you’ll notice that:
- Each left-hand page has just 6 to 10 lines of verse, to avoid cognitive overload.
- Poems are in extra-large 23-point font.
- Each right-hand page has a nostalgic scenic photograph to match the verse, to trigger recollections and reminiscence.
- Poems are about the delight of the seasons and times of day, carefully selected to be positive (no mournful or gloomy verses!)
- Many poems will be familiar from school days: by British poets like William Wordsworth, William Blake, Christina Rossetti, Alfred, Lord Tennyson and others.
This 8 x 10 paperback book is big enough to see well, but at just 40 pages, light and slim and easy to hold. (Also available in a Kindle version.)
The back cover says simply: A selection of classic British nature poetry. Keep your mind active as you read aloud or read along! There is no other commentary.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REFERENCE TO DEMENTIA OR OTHER ILLNESS OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE BOOK.
A thoughtful gift or therapy tool for loved ones living at home with mild cognitive impairment, hospital patients, residents in aged care, people living with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, those recovering from stroke, or in hospice care.
Also perfect in waiting rooms, memory care programs and day activity centres, or for anyone with vision impairment.
Selected by an adult education writer, with input from an experienced Dementia Activities Co-ordinator.
