About this ebook

Anxiety is an insidious condition. It is debilitating, frustrating and utterly life changing. It inhabits the shadows, the thick rays of light and the dense corners of the dark. In times when there seems to be no escape from it, the simplest thing—a warm touch, a sincere smile—could offer warmth, salvation and solace. This is how it is to be anxious, in epistles of simple truths.

The Heaving Pavement is an experimental memoir in verse, prose and illustrated forms.

    Praise for The Heaving Pavement

    Kate Richards

    (Madness: A Memoir and Is There No Place For Me?)

    ‘Both the poetry and prose cut through the safe and sometimes glossy exterior of us as humans, and into the mind of someone suffering with the complex and serious condition of anxiety in ways that are illuminating, original and authentic.’

    Jen Craig

    (Panthers & the Museum of Fire and Since the Accident)

    ‘Although it is a slim volume, The Heaving Pavement is astir with all kinds of weathers. Many of the poems and prose pieces are troubling — as difficult and dark (and sometimes as obscure) as the very anxiety Loyola elaborates for us. His astute sense of form, however — alongside the small miracles of his illustrations — gives these pieces their much needed contours and brings them to a quiet hopefulness.’

    Rosie Scott

    (author, Faith Singer, co-ed, A Country Too Far and The Intervention)

    ‘Ramon proves anxiety is a bad place to be, but in also showing that light can come from darkness, he leaves us with a clear message of hope.’

    Rosemary Sorensen

    (Bendigo Writers Festival)

    ‘These are disturbing texts, but well controlled and developed. The strong imagery evolves with force, taking the reader into the anxious life
