About the book
Hill goes back in time to meet her earlier self, sharing her pain, bewilderment and outrage as she retraces her steps through the labyrinth of a psychiatric hospital. The Lou-Lou poems are much more direct: shorn of her crazy metaphors yet still recognizably speaking with Selima Hill's voice. Returning to the world-- outlandish London in the Swinging Sixties--Lou-Lou ends with her discharge, when "we give not a word of thanks, /not a single smile, / as they lead us away to be normal, /hair-dos swaying."
