Other crazies, of course. Also, there is a bit that I think can be expressed in poetry that is hard to explain any other way. I think when we write poetry we let go in a way we don't otherwise. Poetry is more than just words, it's an expression of emotion. When we read poetry we don't just read it, we feel it. It may be a way to bridge the gap between the bp and those that aren't. A way for us to share what we go through with people who don't have bp. And even if a regular publisher wouldn't take more than a glance at it, we could contact NAMI, DBSalliance, or another group if you all know of someone better, and see if they would be willing to work to help publish it. Like I said, since it's stuff by everyone here, they could use the proceeds to help further their efforts.
