There were times when Fagan stopped speaking, partly due to trauma and partly as an act of protest. “But when I wrote my first poem, I could see my voice, not what anybody else was saying about me, but my own voice, and I could come back later on and it would still be there. I have written pretty much every day since.”

Me, the outsider. Jenni Fagan on care, and a message of hope
