Sobre IBD

Friedrich Holderlin lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. His poetry has come to be considered the greatest of that age. In mid life he suffered a schizophrenic break down, and lived the remaining time being cared for. This work, written by someone who also suffers from schizophrenia, is a a great homage to Holderlin. It is written in poetic prose, and is written self-reflexively by a fellow sufferer.
