"Oh Not So Great":
Poems from the Depression Project
Rob Taylor
These poems are the result of a years-long project designed to create for physicians a doorway to empathy with patients who suffer from mental illness. As it turns out, they open that door wide for us all. Here are people speaking from deep within the isolating world of depression, their stories transformed into poetry by Rob Taylor’s considerable talents. —Sandy Shreve, author of Waiting for the Albatross and Suddenly, So Much
"As soon as I began reading Taylor’s work, my heart broke open. I felt like I was hearing my former partner’s most private thoughts." —Lené Gary, General Science Editor, writing at Borealis Blog.
"This integration of art and science has resulted in a book that has surpassed its original conception to act solely as a tool for enhancing empathy in physicians." —Phoebe Melvin, SFU Faculty of Health Sciences Newsletter.
