A remarkable collection of poetry, prose, photographs and personal experience on the experience of vulnerability.
Mary Booker draws on her autobiographical writing, movement art, poetry, photography and her dramatherapy skills. She explores the roots of vulnerability and fear in her own life, then uses four characters from Shakespeare's The Tempest to unpick the different faces of fear that arise when we meet rejection, abandonment, oppression, alienation, objectification, chaos and a sense of being out-of-control. Mary Booker shows how fear can become a gateway into vulnerability - and vulnerability can lead us into a deeper experience of joy, gratitude, aliveness and connection with self, others and the world around us. If you work with fear and trauma in others, or have ever experienced them yourself, Nothing Special will offer new approaches, ideas and insights for your personal, creative or professional practice.

Mary Booker was born in Ithaca, New York, of an English father and an American mother. She has been living in England since 1971, where she trained as a teacher and then as a dramatherapist. Mary has practised dramatherapy with a wide range of client groups for almost thirty years, twenty-five of which she was also lecturer and trainer on the Devon-based MA in Dramatherapy. For eleven years she worked in special education as a multi-sensory impairment specialist, and wrote about this work in her book, Developmental Drama, Dramatherapy Approaches for People with Profound or Severe Multiple Disabilities, Including Sensory Impairment (Jessica Kingsley Pub.). Mary lives in Exeter with her husband, Chris. Being close to the sea and to her beloved Dartmoor, inspiration is on her doorstep.
