Poetry. Michael's poetic account of his journey through the effects of drug use and mental illness moves through stages of psychosis, wellness, care in the community and catharsis. There is a probing of the dark places with humour, grace and wisdom whilst reaching for the light. Poetically free and fearless, it follows its own inner rhythms--shaping text and space, to produce something quite remarkable. Humbling, compassionate, bold, this account reveals what it is to find a true moral compass through the darkest of times.
