Abstract

The author describes her experience of having psychosis and how thinking and writing have brought an end to her condition. She reveals growing up as a child in poverty while experiencing neglect and abuse. She considers writing and thinking as the two turning points in her life which she demonstrates through her poetry. Among the themes of her poetry are having two versions of her reality, waiting and ecstasy.
