Mary Ann Caldwell My Madness

Annotation

My Madness is the chaos that everyone chooses to avoid. Trauma is brought to the surface and splattered over the pages. These poems show us pain, love, loss, and more pain. The madness is in your thoughts, your lives, and your actions. Crazy, intense, messy, and hopeful. Emotions such as depression, hope, love, and relief are explored. Situations of harassment, assault, eating disorders, and thoughts of suicide are portrayed. My Madness shows how to put the pain on paper. Let in the darkness. Let in the light. You can't have one without the other. See how the past affects the future in this collection of chaotic poetry.
