Description This large collection of peoms and sonnets is just a sample of what Gary has written over the years. Many of the pieces presented here are in the form of letters, often written to loved ones. For many years Gary has languished in hospitals and this has been his only form of communication. Charmingly haphazard and remarkably honest, this is a collection of poems that will really challenge your preconceptions of someone who has spent a long time in institutions. About the Author Coming soon. Book Extract "SLEEP DEPREVATION Watching the night turn into the day with a certain amount of anticipation, Trying to focus on your words of concern yet the tiredness has taken hold and vie lost my thought of concentration, Thinking that I could survive without any sleep, music and telly my only form of relaxation, Days and nights gone by all I sense now is confusion, Looking at the walls wondering is this all part of a self induced hallucination, it seems as if my reality has turned into a nightmare and you're really the devil and in my mind you're real so I guess your human, Looking into the mirror I see only myself so it has to be a delusion, Turning on the radio I can pick up on any secret message it's a magical way of communication, No one knows I understand that's its why it has its weird kind of fascination, Your mind pleading for sleep yet you search for a higher elation, All sensibility long gone as you on the verge of exhaustion, Everyone telling you to rest yet you take no heed of his or her caution, Your mind is awake yet your body now is moving in slow motion, Every sound seems like an explosion,
