If I Played My Life

Kate Goldsmith, who edited this riveting collection of poems always shared a passion for poetry and for helping others. In late 1997, while still an undergraduate student at the University of Calgary, she approached the Publisher of Bayeux Arts to take a look at a bunch of poems she had collected. These were poems written by a group of schizophrenics she was helping to write poetry for self-expression under the aegis of the Alberta Schizophrenia Society, Calgary. The poems are startling in their originality and are a tribute to the critical judgement of a young editor.
