Jamie McLaren — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:02:18 +0000

In this highly authored inquiry AL Kennedy questions the cliched link between madness and creativity, claiming that being true to oneself and exploring ones identity is integral to the making or performing of one's art - however perilous this can seem. Losing one's mind is a negative, terrifying experience, freeing it can be nerve-wracking too, but also exhilarating, beautiful and eloquent - for everyone.
