I Thought I Could Fly

Stunning portraits--in words and photographs--of tragedy and hope in confronting mental illness.

We will do a full national review mailing to general mainstream papers and magazines as well as those specialized in psychiatric issues and try for radio interviews. The author will be available for appearances at psychiatric conventions and organizations. The book has full support of Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic (WPIC) in Pittsburgh, which supplied a generous grant. Brodsky--who assembled these narratives and created the photographs--was compelled to produce this unusual, beautiful book by her own experience as the mother of a child with bipolar disorder. She is highly personable and media savvy, and an excellent spokesperson for the book. Postcards and coop money will be available.

Description

Evocative images, eloquent testimony—a frank and often inspiring exploration of the experience of mental illness.—Peter D. Kramer, author of Freud: Inventor of the Modern Mind and Listening to Prozac

A tree's bare limbs against a grey sky, a young woman's vintage slip, the view beneath a bridge's span. Charlee Brodsky's stark black-and-white photographs combine with a concise collection of moving personal narratives to form an eloquent ensemble of tragedy and hope in the struggle to cope with mental illness.

Charlee Brodsky is a documentary photographer and a professor of photography at Carnegie Mellon University.
