Full Description
As Good as a Rest is a collection of poems and short stories about transition, reinvention and movement. It takes a lovingly playful lens to the impact of living in a digital age that demands personal improvment, how a world permanently scorched by a global pandemic might find connection again, and the bravery it takes to embrace change. Inspired by Malaika's facilitation work with people with lived experience of multiple difficulties and artists who find thesmelves at the intersection of creativity and self-doubt, as well as Malaika's personal experience of transition through health, work, bereavement and connection to nature. Good as a Rest is a cry for radical empathy and the transformative power of human vulnerability.
