'Surviving Schizophrenia' The eighteen poems in this collection are written in remembrance of the late Roy Crew, who suffered from schizophrenia in Britain from the 1940s until the 1960s. They are written by his brother, Bob Crew, who is a published poet who visited Roy regularly and observed him carefully throughout his long illness. They tell the story of Roy's illness and ultimate survival and they are the kind of poems that Roy could not have written for himself because his condition was too severe and he had no apparent talent for poetry.

About the Author Bob Crew is a published author and poet whose others books - Sea Poems, Gurkhas at War and The Beheading & other True Stories - are currently in the bookstalls and on Amazon. Book Extract "Knitting Patterns Unpicking knitting in the woolly thinking of the woven heart with its crosswise threads of emotion spun like cotton to make a complicated work of intricate thought that is patterned and poked by needles from the planet mind to clarify the pulsating knowledge of this muscle of all muscles, rhythmic with circulating blood with which to take and to give heart, expressing hidden meaning through so much feeling with stitches of plain and also of purl poetry dripping with lifeblood and best known to those who knit and to others who carefully un-knit. The Key In The Lock The locked mind can only be unlocked by a very special key from the world of imagery that needs no commentary or explanation to set thoughts free. The locked mind can only unwind and become gradually unblocked after the key that was thrown away has been retrieved from yesterday when imprisonment held sway. The effortless insertion of the key in the lock will set minds free as it opens them up to poetry. Don't throw the key away.
