Holding On and Letting Go: Poems and Drawings

By Gerald Schoenewolf

The author, a psychoanalyst, has collected his philosophical poems and primitive drawings (the latter which he did while his patients were on the couch. Two categories of poems populate the book. Those in the first section, "Holding On," were mainly done in the first half of his life before he had undergone, as he puts it "thousand of years of therapy." Those in the second section, "Letting Go," describe the state of accepting life as it is and living in harmony, a state which reflects the insights gained from therapy. In all there are 59 poems and 50 drawings. Both the poems and drawing can be interpreted like dreams that have come from his conscious and unconscious mind. He passes on this collection in the hope that others will benefit from his journey.
