Crazy Daze
Crazy Daze is the personal memoir of Declan Gould, revealing many episodes in his life under a state of 'extreme consciousness'. The revelations are un-redacted, revealing his often sacrificing his own interests to support the rights and needs of others. The odyssey takes us through Ireland, the US and Zimbabwe. It reveals how he reacted while 'hearing voices', and some brushes with the law and the mental health services. In the second part of the book, Stigma and Mental Health, Declan deals with this very real issue and confronts the insidious ways that stigma can manifest itself to the detriment of those who experience mental health difficulties. In the third part of the book 'Under Observation - a patient view from the psychiatric ward', Declan deals with a number of issues arising from being in a psychiatric ward, which adversely affect patients.
Poetics and Precarity
Poets and critics address the potential of language to address the increasing level of discord and precarity in the twenty-first century.

Precarious Eating follows the lead of writers and thinkers in South Africa and India who are tracing the production and consumption of food, exploring ways to reconnect our narratives about climate change, global capitalism, and social justice. Taking up a diverse range of novels, films, scholar/activist writ...
Hospitalogy
Poetry. LGBT Studies. "Writing from what Frank Sherlock calls a "genderqueer nomadism," david wolach's HOSPITALOGY traces living forms of intimate and militant listening within the Hospital Industrial Complex hospitals, medical clinics and neighboring motels. The book of poems and short essay performs a sociopoetic surgery that is exploratory, not curative, on the institutional sites of contestation that wolach is writing (and reading) from within. But HOSPITALOGY is not performing diagnostic work; it is singing back the sounds of places upon a body, faint as they often are at the edges of the "dark hospital precipice." "david wolach's HOSPITALOGY is an extraordinary work that takes us into ...
