Description

Wayne has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder; about 90% of the poems in 'What Are You Looking At?' were written about this condition from late 2005 onwards. The remiander are general and personal poems that were written at the same time. A lot of Wayne's excellent poems were written whilst he was in and attending a psychiatric hospital, they take account of both highs and lows experienced by people with bipolar disorder. Wayne hopes that his book gives people an insight into how a person with bipolar disorder feels.
