Two Steps From Being Sane Holly Aiden

The poetry within these pages is tumultuous and searing. There is agonizing darkness, unrecoverable loss, and throbbing despair, but also sparkling moments of love and joy. This is the record of one writer's struggle with bi-polar disorder and a tribute to the millions of other men and women who struggle with mental illness every day. Even though the poems are intensely personal, no one is alone in this fight. Perhaps by sharing these slivers of emotion, a dialogue can begin to open, and we can recognize the strength within each of us, even if we are two steps from being sane .
