For over sixty years, Barbara Larson has lived with epilepsy - unseen, misunderstood, and often silenced. In this powerful collection of poetry, she breaks that silence. With grace, grit, and unflinching honesty, Howling to Be Heard chronicles a life shaped by seizures, stigma, and the search for understanding. These poems are not just about illness-they are about resilience, identity, and finding your voice when the world refuses to listen. Step inside the journey. Hear the howl. Witness the strength.

A practicing epileptic for over half a century, I speak with the voice of experience. It has encouraged me to share my journey and unveil the emotional, social, and often traumatic lives of those who suffer the effects.

I invite you, the reader, to enter our world-walk with me as I relive my journey from youngster to senior. You may recognize friends, neighbors or relatives in these poems, which will deepen your understanding of their burdens.
