DESCRIPTION:------------------  Navigating the Space Between Brilliance and   Madness: 
 A Reader and Roadmap  of Bipolar Worlds, by The Icarus Project  Thursday 
 Night April 29th 7-9pm   AK Press Warehouse  Come join Sascha Scatter and 
 Ashley McNamara of   The Icarus Project to celebrate the release of   an 
 amazing little volume of writing that just  might end up changing the way 
 people talk about   bipolar disorder (also known as manic   depression) and 
 mental illness as a whole.    Currently most books on these subjects are   
 written by single, authoritative voices who  very rarely experience the 
 \"disorders\" they   define and even when they do they unilaterally   
 endorse the mainstream medical model of mental   illness. Up until now 
 there has been next to   nothing published by bipolar people themselves   
 who are critical of capitalism and big   business, skeptical of the 
 pharmaceutical   industry and mainstream conceptions of   \"normal\", but 
 who struggle daily with the   compromises and complicated decisions we must 
  make to have a chance at holding our ground in   an insane world.  As 
 people diagnosed with bipolar disorder,   we\'ve assembled the beautiful 
 and jagged pieces   of our collective experiences, the lessons and   the 
 dreams, the scars and the wisdom, to give   you a sense from the inside of 
 what it\'s like   to live with this particular breed of madness,   and to 
 offer a set of roadmaps from people who   are making it through. We\'ve 
 drawn stories from   letters, journals, articles, and the forums of   the 
 Icarus Project website, an online community   where a brilliant group of 
 bipolar people from   all over the world have come together to talk   about 
 everything from the spiritual dimensions   of mania to reconciling psych 
 drugs with  radical politics.  Come join the dialogue.  Tour Finale
