‘To the brink and back' is a poetry book containing 100 poems, all written by myself, Lee Barker, about my own battle with depression and everything that goes with living with this mental illness. I talk about hitting rock bottom, but finding the strength to rise back to the top again, with the love and support of those close to me.
