Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A challenging exploration of mental illness and disability from Governor General's Award winner Jacob ScheierIs This Scary? digs deep into internal landscapes of suffering, including depression and anxiety, chronic physical ailment, and rare neurological malady. With its many eccentric songs and odes to medications and medical procedures, this book is full of both levity and unapologetic lament. Pushing back against societal stigma, Is This Scary? unflinchingly addresses experiences of psychiatric institutionalisation and suicidality, without either romanticising or pathologising them. Scheier rejects much of the mainstream cultural views of mental illness, subverting the biochemical model by emphasising the radical subjectivity of mental suffering. While the poems render the difficulty of communicating pain to others, they defiantly celebrate its expression and evocation through visceral lyricism.Scheier also challenges our culture's desire to be inspired by stories of 'triumphing' over illness and disability. Nothing is overcome here, the journey from illness to wellness is one of narrative and aesthetic disruption. The perpetually incomplete search for self and home is ultimately at the heart of this book: along with being a person with disabilities, the poet-speaker identifies as a Diaspora-Jew, engaging exile as a chronic state of being that isn't intended to be resolved, but rather explored, expressed, and honoured. Scheier's new poetry collection centres landscapes of suffering, including depression and anxiety, chronic physical ailment, and rare neurological malady, rejecting pathologizing or triumphant narratives and instead engaging pain and exile as a chronic state of being that isn't intended to be resolved, but rather explored, expressed, and honored.
