Spectrum


Book Description

Poetry is closest to the heart. Through its symbols, word pictures, intuition, feelings and emotions it is a hint of history, the momentary present and a visionary tool of the future. A poem or a painting is analogous to an iceberg10% visible, 90% hidden meaning. The reader provides the narrative. These poems, with the exception of five or six, were written after 2000. They show my explorations into the arts, love, people I met along the way, my protestations, introspections, and new perspectives I gained after times of change, personal problems and separations from those I love. The poems enabled me to find new strength, to harness my thoughts of years past, to live peaceably in the present and to recognize that a future of dreams and hopes can become reality.

Esen and Paul will need every resource, every friend and even foes, if they're to discover who--or what is behind this before more are lost.

Just ask Evan Gooseberry.

Book Description

AB Discovery is pleased to publish the pinnacle book from acclaimed author, Dylan Lewis: "The Adult Baby - an identity on the dissociation spectrum" Dylan Lewis, in conjunction with Dax Jordan, has put together a lengthy and substantive book that addresses the crucial elements of the Adult Baby identity - a question that plagues us all.

If you are an adult baby or you live with one, this is THE book that will clue you in to who you are, how you behave and why you do what you do. A 65,000 word meticulously researched book that belongs on the bookshelves of every AB, every partner of an AB and every therapist tasked with helping an AB find the balance and understanding they so desperately crave.
