Simon Barton was a speaker at the 2023 ASHA Convention.

This book details Simon Charles Barton's post-stroke journey over an 8-10-year period through a series of quite random, risible, rhyming reflections. Simon chronicles his pursuit of the discovery of a new self and life-purpose, taking readers on a light-hearted examination of the joys and pitfalls of the healing process.

Featuring more than 50 original poems, the author examines such themes as navigating family discussions post-stroke in “Reticence,” the necessity of nurses in “Angels,” and self-renewal in “Reinvention.” Throughout, Simon delights readers with whimsical rhymes and heartfelt messages. Part poetry, part biography, part memoir, Bad Rhymes, No Reason reminds us of the people, places and poems which are integral to each of our own healing processes.
