The Reading Cure

The Reading Cure Poetry Pills

For the promotion of Literary Diversion; to alleviate Mental Fatigue & for the Restoration of Curiosity.

A poetic companion to Cathy Rentzenbrink’s The Agatha Christie Cure.

A restorative dose of words for readers in need of comfort, escape and the particular consolation of a good book.

Prescribed for tired minds, difficult days, bouts of loneliness and those occasions when the world is simply too much and it may be advisable to disappear into a book for a while.

For best results:
Take with a comfortable chair, a locked door, a long journey, or, in the spirit of The Agatha Christie Cure, a hot bath and a very good book.
