The Ballad of the Bunny and Other Poems: The Diary of a Car Crash and Beyond

In May 2020, Catherine Hannah’s drive to work ended in a serious car crash. These are the poems that helped heal her.

In this honest account of trauma recovery, Catherine confronts the near fatal neck injury and traumatic brain injury she sustained on that life changing day. Subsequently diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Post Concussion Syndrome, this trauma poetry diary takes us on a 3.5 year exploration of Catherine’s evolving attitude towards anger and forgiveness.

A practical recovery gift, Catherine’s poetry examines:

-Invisible disability and chronic illness

-Legal proceedings and returning to driving

-Rehabilitation and alternative therapies

-Repercussions on career and relationships

Trauma can have a devastating effect on self identity. Remember- your feelings are valid. You are not alone.
