In 2007, I had a complete breakdown and it was 50-50 whether I'd be here. The only way that I could stop the crazy voices that were in my head was by reading poetry. If you ever read poetry in front of the mirror, you do see the change in yourself. Nothing is ever just about living with dogs, is it? So this is Golden Retrievals by Mark Dotey. Yes, I love this poem. But actually, I've put in the back of a book a little email address. So saying, if there are any poems that you recommend to help people, send them my way.
