Sleeve Notes
June-Alison and Jennifer Gibbons were discharged from Broadmoor Hospital on March 9, 1993, and were taken to Caswell Clinic. That same evening, Jennifer was taken to G+D. June-Alison remained at Caswell Clinic until March 18, 1984, when she was discharged to a 'half-way house', where she immeadiately started writing and drawing once more.

She commenced what she has now titled "The White Girl" on September 16, 1994, completing it between January and February 1995. June-Alison then moved to a second 'half-way house', where she wrote "The Waters Of Marah", a profound, unique, collection of beautiful , melancholy poems, which is also to be published by Cashen's Gap.

Whils staying with us in Hastings in May 2023, to attend the Jack In The Green Festival, June-Alison very generously gave us the original 'Artists Sketch Pad' in which she had created "The White Girl", as well as the folder of poems which make up "The Waters Of Marah", to add to our 'The Magickal Twins Archive', which holds an extensive number of holograph manuscripts, typescripts, artwork, letters, diaries, and photographs by June-Alison and Jennifer. It also includes a very beautiful stuffed toy cat which June-Alison made in Broadmoor.

Our gratitude to, and our love for, both June-Alison and Jennifer are more than we could ever spell. We love yuo June-Alison, we love you Jennifer, and we love you too, MumGloria. We are Family!
