The Madness of Art could be the story of any one of the thirty-one million American adolescents currently suffering. This in-depth first-person account is raw, painful, and unfiltered. Following my first suicide attempt at the age of twelve, I found that through open dialogue and art I could overcome the sadness. In high school, I discovered a love for poetry and the many benefits that come with it. The book contains both my poetry and illustrations some created during my darkest moments, while others during my most joyous occasions.

"I didn't know you had friends like Isaac," Willa said in greeting. "I don't," muttered Jared. Isaac rolled his eyes. "Yeah, you don't. You have //one// friend like Isaac." His voice turned into this stupid mock whisper and he leaned towards Jared conspiratorially. "It's me, by the way."
