Description
Faced with the long, sometimes not-so-slow decline of Parkinson’s disease, poet/artist Gary Turchin chose creativity as his medicine and first line of defense. It’s paying off. Using his own recent poetry, and his finely-honed storytelling skills, he weaves the journey of his book, If I Were You, which he published this year, with his life, his art, his obsessions, his creativity and his diagnosis into a fiercely honest, ferociously real, yet charming and amusing tale. Turchin explores how his health and well-being need not only be measured by the state of his body, but by the power of his imagination. A must-see for anyone challenged by anything, which is probably all of us.“Incredibly inspiring…I was so moved by his story and his writing and his poems…” Tina Blaine (Bean) Executive Director, Rhythmix Cultural Works
