Brilliant insanity

Glimpses into the mind and souls of schizophrenics, who try and explain their realities through poetry. The absolute honesty of their position is startling, many of them stand firmly in their beliefs, while others do not know what is real and what is not. Some of the insanity starts to make sense as the reader is drawn into the thoughts of the authors.
