Light Perception by Beth O'Brien

Light Perception
Available on Kindle here
For trade copies or author copies please contact us on wildpressedbooks@gmail.com
This pamphlet is a collection of poems that centres on the theme of disability, visual impairment, and dealing with how people react to one with a disability.

Light Perception discusses the feeling of being labelled as ‘wrong’ from a young age, the struggle of trying to seem as able as possible, even if it’s just an act, and coming to terms with learning that everyone needs help sometimes.

​

I have pretended for so long that I thought
the best compliment would be:

“I actually forget you can’t really see,”

​But when it comes, I realise that it means
I have to keep pretending.​
