In this moving collection of poems, award-winning writer Sandy Jeffs shares her journey through madness over four decades, drawing inspiration from Lewis Carrolls Alice in Wonderland and the motley gathering of characters at the Mad Hatters tea party. Both delightful and insightful, playful and serious, witty and whimsical, this collection provides a devastating commentary on how our society treats those with mental illness from the perspective of someone who has experienced all its interventions. It captures in poetic form the enigmas and contradiction in madness.
