Synopsis
Witty, brittle, serene, remote, tortured - here is poetry that is testament to the transforming power of the imagination, poetry that catches the reader in the full glare of its light, challenging the isolation, stigma and myths of mental illness.
Inspired by the high quality of work being produced by users of the mental health services in Britain and Ireland, and illustrated with some of the extraordinary work held in the Royal Bethlem and Maudsley Hospital Archive & Museum, `Beyond Bedlam' is an unforgettable exploration of the mind's resources under pressure.
