The Crazy Decide Who's Sane As The Flowers Scream For Spring Robert Benefiel

The Crazy Decide Who's Sane As The Flowers Scream For Spring is a collection of poetry written during a creative glut for the author. Expanding on the idea of language as observer and participant. Many themes and ideas are repeated throughout the book, often taking the same concept and repeating it in different ways like an echo. Throughout there is the building up and blending of a voice, to lose information and pronounce it simultaneously. The effect is to separate moral from religion, love from lust, death from change, trust from blind following. Often within the book the line is either blurred or becomes quite clear, with many tones of joy and sorrow reverberating throughout. By the end of the book one is forced to see that while parts of reality are based on one's choices, there are also parts that are not effected by one's beliefs.
