Olivia Harrison's Journey into Poetry

Olivia Harrison reflects on how she discovered her passion for poetry after experiencing a 12-hour amnesia episode. This surprising event prompted a neurologist friend to suggest reading poetry, which led Olivia to start writing her own poems. She found that poetry allowed her to express deep emotions and inner experiences that she couldn't convey through other forms of writing. Olivia's poetry collection, titled 'Came the Lightning,' explores her personal journey with her late husband, George Harrison, and reflects on themes of loss, time, love, and the transformative power of grief.
