The Taming of the Fork by Philip Golding, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A curved ball smacked me in the kisser; Parkinson s disease had left its calling card. Welcome to my poems that beam you up and boldly go where no Parkinson s poetry has gone before. Whether you are able bodied or disabled these verses will provoke an array of emotions and mix them all up then place it in a pocket of your heart. How could I help others understand how a disabled person feels, who lives life to the max, and has the same right to access all levels in this society? How could I put back some of the benefits that I have gratefully received? That is when I wrote my first poem The Taming of the Fork, one sleepless night on holiday with friends in Ilfracoombe. My Parkinson s has been enabling rather than disabling, which surprised me. I have been down to the depths of despair and come back laughing. Somehow my condition has made me a richer person despite the changes that will inevitably come.
