The debut poetry collection from the fragmented mind of Maine-based author and poet, Keanu Cordova and the inner machinations of his mind made manifest through the personality of Renzel. With themes of mental health, growth, reflection, love, loss, revenge and trauma, this collection explores the concepts of navigating a world that demonizes mental health disorders and the never ending chess match one finds themselves stuck in when trying to live with these imperfections.

With the ultimate goal of outreach, education, exposure and advocacy, Keanu gives a raw view of his life with Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar 2. Primarily written in the style of spoken-word, these unorthodox tales with leave you laughing, crying and questioning the true meaning of the word normal as you delve into the labyrinth that is the human mind's fractured psyche.

A tornado on the horizon, a faithful guard dog full of love but with bite to match its bark, the thing that stares back in the mirror and even a confrontation with Fear himself. Unchain the madness hidden by societal norms and public perception as you take a walk down the dark alleys and dimly lit streets of Keanu's mind and mental landscape.
