A woman with schizophrenia talks about her favorite poem



This video is making me reconsider my notion that Charles Bukowski was nothing more than a drunken misogynist who should pretty much be ignored. The notion that writing can be deliverance from the sting of mental illness, well, I've essentially made my career of testing that hypothesis. But I still don't know the answer.
