Poet Jacob Barton has always and will always be bipolar but was diagnosed in April of 2012. Writing out the dreams and conversations he has while in a manic or depressed mood has taken the form of poetry. The poems in this collection were written through the ups and downs of Bipolar Disorder, and are a roadmap to Barton's life. By sharing his words with the world, Barton hopes he can help other people with mental disorders to unlock and release the thoughts that create a pain no one else can understand.

Poet Jacob Glen Barton is a first time author. He was born, raised, and still live in Chandler, AZ with my wife Andrea, their two dogs (Coffee and Mocha), and four cats (Felix, Sammy, Dharma, and Luna). Jacob earned a degree in Christian Studies at Ottawa University.
