THE WOVEN ACCORD Isla knows an existential crisis of survival. The Woven Accord is a raw statement. Isla relates thoughts hypervigilant, progressing a reasoned recovery, one in which she remains trapped by residual intensities of stress and such trauma subsumed. She knows a societal restriction in the differentiation between mental and physical ill-health that is too difficult. It is of a dissociation in isolation she felt more keenly because it took her herself so many years to accept or understand, and alone. The unravelling persists for self-validation in a poetic entanglement for some of that which she endured in her own best standards of daily living, or as she lived in failure. Still, not to be normalised, Isla bravely grants the wrong she feels and experienced. It is to her mind and soul, a madness, and she fears she might not cope, it is not her fault, and she does not want more. This story is told in a series of short prose poems set into four parts: A Long Time Ago, Isla's World, Tumbling, and Unravelling.
