Book Cover & Preview Text
"Inkwell" Stumbling through pages I knotted my sleep The knives of the borders Stifled my yawn Sifting through ages I sadly would keep Not one of those cinders genius might spawn Lives those dark cages in time may well reap Nocturnal endeavors of clockwork and brawn Grimace of ogres; eccentrics that leap along with the sages, may gaze at the dawn Day when the rigors, my own sliver creep, arrest them in stasis No longer the pawn

About the Book
CREEPING CADENCE ----This text covers a time during which I was losing my sanity, but expresses an important idealism and sense of aesthetic, some of which has remained with me... Largely the text accounts of how schizophrenia might be an intellectual ailment... What is expressed is as much a search for complexity as it is a search for organization---- CADENCE CONTINUES... ===The second document was formed on an intuition that my mental state had changed, around the period of my attempt at college ... and initial diagnosis... The very end of this material, before the post-script, occurred after my diagnosis... The poetry journal / diary occurs during a period of unmedicated schizophrenia; Some thoughts are concatenated, others seem to meet up with some kind of tension or pain; But the poems occasionally reach the power I intend to imbibe them with===
