A Life Interrupted
Living with Brain Injury
These poems honor what survives in the wake of brain injury — the fragile, persistent self that keeps reaching for light. Louise writes her way through loss, uncertainty, and the slow re‑forming of identity, offering companionship to anyone navigating a life reshaped by trauma. Her work reminds us that healing is not linear, but it is possible, and no one walks that path alone.
“A must‑read for anyone in the traumatic brain injury (TBI) field. This poetry is packed with inspiring words, painting a patient’s viewpoint of the long journey...to revitalized person... redeveloping brain pathways. In her words, ‘TBI = transformed by injury.’”

Shorter Works & Anthologies
Beyond my standalone work, my prose and poetry have been selected for a variety of national and international anthologies. My pieces have been featured in collaborative volumes, including the bestselling A Cup of Comfort series (Adams Media), as well as collections by Finishing Line Press and the Chicago Poetry Press. My poem "Monsters of the Sky" was also selected for the UK-based Borderlines anthology by the University of Portsmouth. Contributing to these diverse volumes has been a wonderful way to connect with a broader community of readers and writers over the years.
