From the award-winning author of Die Wise comes a poetic, meditative and honest memoir that dares to grapple with the indiscriminate nature of illness. Stephen Jenkinson is perhaps best known for his work helping people navigate grief, death, and dying. Now, he confronts an 'undoing' of his own in the form of the degenerative neurological condition known as Parkinson s disease. In Trembling, Still Stephen details his experience beginning with his diagnosis through a collection of musings, stories, and reflections on life and illness, both poignant and poetic as his fine-motor skills and cognitive abilities begin to decline. Written as a series of entries beginning January 3, 2024, and ending with an epilogue dated July 17, 2025, Trembling, Still is a lyrical and meditative journey that will find its way both to Stephen s well-established audience and to a broader readership.
