Description
Surviving Has Made Me Crazy by Mark Nepo is a collection of 68 poems that explore the nature of survival and authenticity. After being diagnosed with lymphoma in 1987, Nepo's journey towards healing led him to discover new insights into life and its meaning. The poems gathered here are the culmination of many years of inquiry and reflection, and offer a message that is both personal and universal. They affirm that surviving has more to do with our authenticity than our longevity, and invite readers to consider what it means to live a true and meaningful life. Through his poetry, Nepo shares his own experiences as a teacher, spiritual retreat leader, and poet, and offers guidance on how to navigate the challenges of life with greater wisdom and insight.
