(b)mused.
(b)mused is what happens when love doesn't arrive. When someone becomes a muse, but never quite a mirror. When confusion becomes its own kind of intimacy. In these poems, the speaker drifts between clarity and ache, tracing the soft violence of a connection that left more questions than closure. To be (b)mused is to be inspired and unraveled, to feel the edges blur between tenderness and disorientation, memory and myth. This is not a love story - but a story about what we write when love disappears and we find ourselves again. -

(Don't) Call Me Crazy: 33 Voices Start the Conversation about Mental Health

What happens when a label like that gets attached to your everyday experiences? To understand mental health, we need to talk openly about it. Because there's no single definition of crazy, there's no single experience that embodies it, and the word itself means different things--wild? extreme? disturbed? passionate?--to different people. In (Don't) Call Me Crazy, thirty-three actors, athletes, writers, and artists offer essays, lists, comics, and illustrations that explore a wide range of topics:
their personal experiences with mental illness,
how we do and don't talk about mental health,
help for better understanding how every person's brain is wired differently,
and what, exactly, might make someone crazy. If you've ever struggled with your mental health, or know someone who has, come on in, turn the pages . . . and let's get talking. This award-winning anthology is from the highly-praised editor of Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World and Body Talk: 37 Voices Explore Our Radical Anatomy.
