About this series
This book is for the broken, the damaged and scarred.
This book is for the walking dead who have learnt to live as best they can with hollow hearts and gaping wounds.
"They (the poems) are straight from the heart, soul and gut. They are never trite, never overblown but wonderfully, articulate and rich in imagery." S Moore
Broken people get through the experience of brokenness and then have to adapt to living with it and its effects on the other side.
To deny we are broken is wrong. To try and forget the horror is wrong. Who we are today has been forged out of the trauma we have been though. Our lives now take a different, somewhat darker turn.
Vampirical Verse reflects the emotional, mental and spiritual fallout from cancer. These poems are an attempt by Freya Pickard to express the inexpressible.

1
One woman's journey through cancer, chemotherapy and beyond. "Freya here expresses the full scope (of cancer), in her own way, of the rigors of the experience, and, I think, puts it in a form that fully describes its horrors as well as hope." Troy This is a poetic account of Freya Pickard's horrendous experience of bowel cancer. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, she undergoes several major operations to remove the tumour and then endures 6 months of chemotherapy. Only after that can she begin to recover. In order to cope with what she was experiencing, Freya wrote notes and poems in her journal nearly every day. If you or anyone you know is going through cancer treatment of any kind, this is a book you have to read. Freya knows. Freya understands. Freya survived.

3
Another biographical offering from Freya Pickard, tracing her development both as a person and a poet from her early twenties to mid-forties. Freya Pickard is a cancer survivor, whose fight for life has forever changed her. These changes are reflected in a variety of poems she permits to be published here. Initially determined to be single, Freya reveals what it was like to discover her soulmate. Enjoying physical and mental fitness, she tells how she struggles post cancer. Always an observer, Freya looks within and without to catalogue her journey through an eventful life. You don't need to have read either Insides or My Mythology, but if you have, you'll find This Is Me continues the threads of imagination and post-cancer trauma.

She finds her inspiration in the ocean, the moors, beautifully written books and vinyl music (particularly heavy metal and rock). She enjoys Hatha Yoga, Bhangra and Yogalates and in her spare time creates water colours and pastel drawings of the worlds in her head.
