Taking Time Out: Poems in Remembrance of Madness

This is not a comfortable book; there are poems in it such as "Brain Disease," which take the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer as subject matter. And yet in other poems madness is not without its own point of view, and its own touch of humor. Other poems attempt to resolve any tendencies toward violence and self-destruction that the author himself might have experienced. And in so doing, to help explain some of the personal, political, and spiritual aberrations of the psyche, that might be so prevalent in our society today.
