Understanding Madness Taschenbuch von Carlo Levy

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. Über den Autor CARLO LEVY has lived in seven different neighborhoods of Seattle, where he was born in 1961. He is the author of a memoir, Understanding Madness, also published by Atopon Books, and a collection of poems entitled The Radio Factory. Both volumes contain original collages. In 1998 he received the first annual Nelson Bentley Award given by the editors at Fine Madness, for his poem, „The Old Music of Heraclitus.“ He is married to Rebecca Alexander, a painter, poet, librarian, and gardener.
