Rob Gee worked for twelve years as a mental health nurse before becoming a stand-up poet. When his career as a performer was interrupted by COVID-19, he returned to nursing. The poems in this collection are drawn from his experiences as a nurse, inpatient and writer in healthcare settings.
"Brimming with anarchistic joy. . . yet behind everything is a big heart. It' s typical Gee - combining gleeful subversiveness with poignant observations about the human condition. " - Victoria Times Colonist; "Inspirational. . . thought-provoking, humbling and hilarious. " Mind Share, South Australia
Rob Gee qualified as a psychiatric nurse in 1994 and worked for twelve years in mental health units around the UK and Australia.

As a stand-up poet, Rob has won numerous poetry slams, including the Edinburgh Slam, the Arts Council' s Lit Up Slam, BBC2' s Why Poetry Matters Slam and the Orlando Poetry Smackdown.
