> Hi, > > The Letting Go - A PD Story > > Well, what do you think? By now you will have had the chance to drop in on > Jane and Marc's remarkable collection at > http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/page1.htm , and will have formed your first > opinions. Hopefully you agree with us that a book relating to and > complimenting the art show is just crying out to be put together. As you > are aware the book in question is well on its way to becoming a reality and > we would like to tell you something of what is envisaged. > > First, while the book is inspired by, and relates to, the art show it will > be able to stand in its own right. > > Second, the book will show the reader the reality of living with PD; from > the fear, anger and physical incapacity to the spirit, fortitude and > courage. > > Third, the book will comprise extracts from the art show together with > poems, short stories, anecdotes, etc. which need not be specifically about > Parkinson's Disease but must be clearly related to it in some way. > > Fourth, the contributions can be from any source, but it is envisioned that > they will be primarily from PWP, carers, and family members and friends of > PWP. > > Fifth, a large number of works have already been collected for probable > inclusion in the book and a general appeal for submissions has been posted > to the PD list. > > Thank you to those who have already responded. > > To those of you who have yet to respond, please do - we would really like to > hear from you! > > Thanks, Dennis Greenee, Margaret Tuchman, Joan Snyder, Jane Scott
