The Box of Frogs and the Black Dog Helen M Morris

This chapbook is an exploration of a chronic condition that has followed me for a long time. The Black Dog, depression, has been with me all of my adult life, on and off. The Box of Frogs, anxiety, is a more recent acquisition over the last 25 years. Keeping the depression company, these two have been part of my life and relationships with everyone, especially my family and friends. I have come late to poetry, after dabbling as a literate teen, and I can only hope I have improved. This is a personal exploration of these feelings, and I hope that it will be of help to some to see them expressed in words on a page.
