Home Practice : The Briefest of Explanations, by Lizzy Turner

If therapy is a form of communication, of language, then what is its poetry? In this collection, Lizzy Turner unmasks the aesthetic potential of clinical protocol. Home Practice claws at the language of modern psychiatry until it speaks blood. You will never look at an intake sheet the same way again.
Nadia de Vries, author of Dark Hour (Dostoyevsky Wannabe, 2018)

In “Home Practice” the bureaucracy of mental health smashes head-first into unapologetic reality. Through all aspects of form and language Lizzy Turner illuminates the inherit absurdity of our various attempts to quantify the unquantifiable while still focusing on the genuine and true aspects of mental health that paperwork simply can’t encapsulate. In doing so, Turner discovers glints of beauty, both within the language of assessment forms and also without them. This is an important work, and one which is both incredibly personal and also incredibly relatable to many. It’s also an exciting work, deserving of way more than a singular read. Simultaneously sorrowful and hopeful, “Home Practice” is filled with treasures around every corner – each time I read it I find something new to hold onto.
Sean Wai Keung, author of Be Happy (Speculative Books) and You Are Mistaken (Rialto)
