Synopsis
Understanding Madness explores the singular moods, fears, and synaesthetic experiences of a poet from the Pacific Northwest who also suffers from schizophrenia. It includes original collages that mirror the author's poetic sensibility on the cusp between word and image, reading and seeing, understanding and hallucination. A poignant, sincere, beautiful evocation of life on the edges of the normal, the consensual, and the rational.
