Produktbeschreibung

As I Remember in Poetry and Prose provides a compelling glimpse into a bipolar woman's complex and poignant journey as she battled powerful emotions in her life and mind. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age forty-seven, Natalia Finocchiaro began writing poetry as an outlet-a decision that eventually led her to a path of healing. A victim of her own imagination, Natalia was hospitalized fifteen times as she battled hallucinations, insomnia, psychotic episodes, and depression. As she shares what she learned about herself and those around her during those difficult years, Natalia's poems depict a world of fantasy and reality during both joyful and heartbreaking moments. From her reflections on the ruts of a miserable family, a future full of hope and promise, the arguments inside her head, and the one eternal love that guided the way from near and far, Natalia offers a fascinating lyrical tour of the bipolar mind. As I Remember in Poetry and Prose profiles one woman's reality as she journeys from darkness to the light and, at last, finds peace within her tormented soul.
