    About this ebook

    The hardest part about being hospitalized for mental illness isn't admitting yourself... but leaving.


    Post Pine examines the months before, after and during the greatest mental break down in my life and my journey in attempting to live with numerous mental illnesses. This illustrated collection of poems looks at life, love, loss and what it truly means to be crazy.

    Nicholas M. Abdo

    Nicholas Marion Abdo is an New York poet, short story and fiction author with an infinity for the grim...and amiable. Author of the new poetry anthology To Walk Through Pinefield on mental illness, life and love. With an introduction to writing short stories in early adolescents, his writing, in later years, soon extended to poetry and then, once again, back to satirical short stories, which often are little more than derivative mockery. Raised in nothing short of an ideal environment, he has abided neglectful parenting, a myriad previously untreated mental illnesses, and several hospitalizations.Contact Nicholas M.
