1 y separately published work icon Dandelion Heart Kelly Vincent , Melbourne : Debut Books , 2021 23456005 2021 selected work poetry essay

'A love letter to all the minds and bodies the world is still trying to force into a mould long broken.

'Dandelion Heart is an eye-opening collection of poignant essays and poetry that grapples with disability in an identity-driven world. Exploring powerful themes ranging from body image and self-esteem to sex, relationships, and mental health, author and disability rights advocate, Kelly Vincent, draws on her own experiences as an autistic and physically disabled person.

'Using artful prose and disability as a lens to examine the kaleidoscope of the human experience, this collection offers a deeply personal glimpse into practising acceptance, the desire for visibility, and challenging society's perceptions of what it means to be disabled; indeed, what it means to be human.'

'"Stories are powerful things. Books are powerful things. This is why people burn and ban them... books and stories contain ideas, and ideas are bulletproof."

'We are all surrounded by stories. Whether you know it or not, we are all storytellers. From books, film and television to the way we convey daily information, stories shape the way we communicate and view the world around us.

'With warmth and personal insight, A B Endacott explores the ways in which the stories we read, write and consume tell us something about our collective humanity and gives us the opportunity to step beyond ourselves and the limitations of our single lived experience.

'Drawing on a broad range of stories from mythology to Disney films, the reader is encouraged to question how storytelling is vital to our understanding of who we are, and the power they have to transform our world view.'
