m a d n e s s Sam Sax‘s „madness“ is a mesmerising collection of poems that dives deep into the world of mental illness. The poems explore how being labeled „mad“ can harm a person, but they do so with a pinch of dark humour. There is no shying away from any topic here. From all the questionable procedures that were done on “hysterical“ women to being stigmatised nowadays. madness is haunting, beautiful, and surprisingly funny at times: ~ maybe the worms do the worm in the earth ~ It’s a great read for anyone interested in the nuances of mental health. What‘s come from all our progress? All our progression from animal into angel into engine?
