Step into a world rarely heard — a deeply human, fiercely honest look at life after a dementia diagnosis. In the Palm of a Spider’s Hand is the debut poetry collection from Gerald King, created to challenge stereotypical assumptions and give voice to lived experience.
Raw, emotional, authentic — filled with verses that convey the full spectrum of living with dementia: the fears, the frustrations, the fleeting clarity, and the enduring spark of identity.
Reframes the narrative — this isn’t a story of loss or limitation, but of resilience, memory, humanity and hope. As one reviewer put it: “Poetry to shift the focus from loss and limitation to potential and ability.”
A powerful act of solidarity — by centering lived experience rather than medical jargon, the collection reaches beyond the dementia community to help society better understand what it truly feels like to live with this diagnosis.
In the Palm of a Spider’s Hand isn’t just a book — it’s a bold statement, a doorway to empathy, and a beacon of truth. Add it to your collection today — and help transform how we talk about dementia.
