<br />
<span style="font-family: "timesnewromanps"; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-weight: 700;">Westchester, NY</span><span style="font-family: "gautami"; font-size: 12.000000pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "timesnewromanpsmt"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">– “Shattered Resistance” is an anthology of insightful, poignant, deeply imaginative
and occasionally disturbing poetry. It offers the reader powerful, moving writing and is a rich and
enriching reading experience for these times. It became available through Amazon under “Shattered
Resistance Poetry Book” on September 10</span><span style="font-family: "timesnewromanpsmt"; font-size: 7.000000pt; vertical-align: 5.000000pt;">t</span><span style="font-family: "gautami"; font-size: 12.000000pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "timesnewromanpsmt"; font-size: 7.000000pt; vertical-align: 5.000000pt;">h</span><span style="font-family: "gautami"; font-size: 7.000000pt; vertical-align: 5.000000pt;"></span><span style="font-family: "timesnewromanpsmt"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">, and can be purchased in both a softcover format and on
Kindle.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "timesnewromanpsmt"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Independent reviewer Jay Goldberg says this about the work: <i>“I have been reading this terrific collection
of poems every day since I received the book and every day I find more gems. The poems in this
collection run the gamut from interesting to thought-provoking to humorous to moving to insightful. I
highly recommend this book to both poetry lovers and people who enjoy reading intelligent books that
make you think, laugh and occasionally shed a tear for the author. Oh, one additional comment; in the
poem “Things I Will Miss” the author writes that he will miss writing poetry that no one will read. Well,
I think he got that one wrong. His poems will, and should, be read by many.”
</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "timesnewromanpsmt"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Laurence Traiger, an independent reviewer from Germany, has this to say about the collection: <i>“The
voice of the poet is truly original and convincing. The reader is confronted with a complex personality
expressing anger, love, hope, fear, nostalgia and a unique brand of humour.”
</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "timesnewromanpsmt"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Bipolar illness affects about 5.7 million American adults, or about 2.6% of the U.S. population 18 and
older, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. There is no single cause for bipolar disorder.
Indeed, like all psychological disorders, bipolar disorder is a complex condition with multiple
contributing factors. Because Bipolar disorder tends to run in families, researchers believe there is a
genetic predisposition for the disorder.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "timesnewromanpsmt"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">The author has experienced episodes of Bipolar psychosis, which refers to an episode of severe mania or
depression, along with psychotic symptoms and hallucinations. The symptoms tend to match the
patient's mood. If the person is in a manic phase, they may believe they have special powers. This type
of psychosis can lead to reckless or dangerous behavior, and the author has led a dangerous life.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "timesnewromanpsmt"; font-size: 12.000000pt;">The book has been written not only to entertain, but to provoke and challenge the reader to think in a
brand new way. The book can be purchased on Amazon at
