Second Coming: [Birth of the Poet] a Memoir
$16.16
Description
A terrifying descent into madness, the first fearful steps on the path to recovery, this uncompromising memoir captures all the urgent and hypnotic tension of a commercial thriller. “A Second Coming”-the companion volume to Swartz’s great long-poem ‘The Will to Christ”-is a probing investigation of the unconscious and metaphysical wellsprings of a singular poetic gift.
And yet it is more. This story is without question the most accurate portrayal to date of the largely uncharted regions of schizophrenia, a compelling and solitary journey into yogic meditation and a massive abuse of cannabis non-indica.
Swartz’s manic delusion was the very overthrow of God and cleansing of the evolutionary process. After a twelve-day descent into terror, strapped to a hospital gurney, he emerges to an uncertain future and the realization that his whole experience was neither reality, nor, even more strangely, anything approaching fantasy.
