In this book, Katalin Cseh ventures on uncharted territory: during a visit made at the Psychiatric Hospital in Borsa, Romania, she made several acquaintances among the patients. They are the ones who speak up in these poems, expressing their sense of loss, their feelings and impressions. People of various backgrounds and age, they share their loneliness, need for love and frustrations. They desperately try to find their way in the chaos of conscious and subconscious, normality and a word broken into pieces. The reality of the poems is authenticated by the poet being present in this hovering between two worlds.

The book has been illustrated by art therapist Ágnes Forró’s patients.
