Barb Derrick wrote this book, Finding Myself in Poetry, as a reflection of her life during her recovery from the depths of her Bi-Polar condition. Each poem is a memory or mirror of her life as seen through her eyes that once again can see the beauty in her everyday life. Still living with her Bi-Polar condition but well under control with medication and monthly visits to her psychiatrist, she is inspired to write when experiencing her highs and has very few times of depression. It is with a feeling of elation that she presents this collection of poems, a book that brings her great pride. Barb is happy to share these poems that mark the way she traveled to rediscover herself after being lost in the challenges of a devastating illness.
