Books
Diary of a Schizo
The book starts with an almost religious/sexual atmosphere in a cross between prose and poetry. The book finishes almost on a lighter note with diary extracts, more black comedy than full on haha, but definately an element of a young mind(s) experience (of) highs and pitfalls. The last word is 'free' but only in small type. But are writers ever really 'free', I'm sure Mark Cantrell will have the answer somewhere. (The book) has a certain look and this helps illustrate the mood and emotion in the writing. The 'diary' is scattered from cover to cover with scraps of paper ripped from the real thing. Different fonts are used to show the changing train of thought, not just the seperate writers.... their words clash and blend together well to create a many faceted person: Mary Hooton (Editor Ubique/Poet)
