AnnotationPeople with dementia are beginning to take the lead in providing essential insights into what they are experiencing, and they often express those insights through the powerful language of symbol and metaphor. The author considers examples of how people with dementia convey feelings, and how poet Ian McQueen has responded to memory loss in his poetry. (RH).
