Christmas 2021, Todd Swift was in ICU, close to death. His heart had failed and was operating at less than 20%. Now, in early 2022, he continues to be treated at the Royal Free Hampstead for this serious health challenge. He also has a blood clot on his heart.With a cover design by artist Edwin Smet, here are a selection of new poems, published as a fundraiser for Todd, who cannot currently work, as he waits for his implant device procedure.
