Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A challenging exploration of mental illness and disability from Governor Generals Award winner Jacob Scheier. Is This Scary? digs deep into internal landscapes of suffering, including depression and anxiety, chronic physical ailment, and rare neurological malady. With its many eccentric songs and odes to medications and medical procedures, this book is full of both levity and unapologetic lament. Pushing back against societal stigma, Is This Scary? unflinchingly addresses experiences of psychiatric institutionalization and suicidality, without either romanticizing or pathologizing them. Scheier rejects much of the mainstream cultural views of mental illness, subverting the biochemical model by emphasizing the radical subjectivity of mental suffering. While the poems render the difficulty of communicating pain to others, they defiantly celebrate its expression and evocation through visceral lyricism. Scheier also challenges our cultures desire to be inspired by stories of triumphing over illness and disability. Nothing is overcome here, the journey from illness to wellness is one of narrative and aesthetic disruption. The perpetually incomplete search for self and home is ultimately at the heart of this book: along with being a person with disabilities, the poet-speaker identifies as a Diaspora-Jew, engaging exile as a chronic state of being that isnt intended to be resolved, but rather explored, expressed, and honored.Ode to Prednisone Herr Pill! You murder sleep. Eugenicist Cortisol, re-make me ox-strong, moon-faced, onioned-skin. Hugs are dangerous. Performance-enhancing drug for poets you triple feelings.
