Go on. I dare you. Take a peek. Perhaps you will find yourself, or someone you know. Be glad. You share this madness with that person standing next to you, or the one sitting beside you and even the one that society has trussed up in a straitjacket and administered ECT to. This collection of simple and honest poems screams out in self-validation as it tracks the authors' ups, downs and observations along its learning curve, revealing intense moments of epiphany. Most importantly, the poems show there is no shame in feeling bad or different. Rejoice in being you, with all your colours, and see how normal you are!

A delightful collection of poems, giving a fresh sense of movement and spontaneity. Fascinating, an inspiration, a great achievement. Bravo! -- Poetry Express, Number 20, Autumn 04/Winter 05
About the Author
Kim Schroeder is a freelance writer and English Language Teacher. After studying English she trained to become a mental health nurse, working for 10 years in the NHS. Her career in Health Care Management came to an end when she made the decision to care for her own mother who developed early-onset dementia at the age of 55. Deciding that ?Charity begins at home? she never looked back.On moving to Germany in 2000 she worked for the Red Cross as a community nurse before starting to write on a full-time basis. She now wants to use her pen as a medium with which to show how important it is to care holistically for people with mental health problems, never losing sight of their individuality.

I have deeply been moved by the depths of the authors poems. Women Island has touched me particularly, feeling I was no longer alone on my island...

Can't recommend this book highly enough! It's funny, real, moving, what else can I say?! The author had obviously lived her life to the max!

I LOVED THIS AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE POETRY!

I know nothing of poetry and I guess school was the last time I read a poem. A friend gave this to me as he was trying to cheer me up - I'd been a bit depressed and I couldn't concentrate enough to read like I normally did. I just flicked through it one day and found myself hooked! The language is straight forward but the message is strong and the great warmth and humanity of the author shines throughout it. It's got humour, tears - it's got life!
