About the Author

Kevin Young, born in 1963, has lived a life outside the emotional norm of most. Bipolar from his early teens but not diagnosed until 2009, he has lived with the extreme manic highs and suicidal depressions without knowing why. After suicide attempts, rages, deep love affairs and deadly depressions; these have been the emotional makeup of his life. Out of this turmoil has come a collection of poetic works, fueled by the fire of Bipolar. Keeping that thin line between creativity and madness has become the challenge while learning to cope with a life on the emotional extremes.
