Autorenporträt
David Standford Ridgway comes from Pasco, Washington, a small town on the Columbia River. His father is an accountant who became a successful consultant. His mother, who passed away in 1992, came within six hours of getting her Masters degree. She instilled a love of reading to her children. David is the middle of an older brother and a younger sister. David started to exhibit signs of depression at age fourteen. This landed him in a mental hospital when he was sixteen years old. In 2011 while resting in a psyche ward, David started a stream of poetry which was cleansing and prolific. He sites an eclectic influence from Robert Frost to musical icons such as Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and the Beatles. This is his first book. He lives in Fairfax, California. Mr. Ridgway hopes his passionate poetry will show the world that bipolar disorder is both a curse and a gift.
