We often take such boundaries for granted. But there is one boundary that most of us are spared: the boundary between reality and delusion, sanity and madness. This little book touches upon all of these thresholds in a singular way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author, a poet, comedian, and student of consciousness, finds himself gradually slipping from observing and noting such boundaries to crossing over from one world to another: from the world of ordinary, if enhanced, intuitive or poetic reality and perception to that of Lewy body dementia. \u003ci\u003eThe Brain Is a Boundary\u003c\/i\u003e records his journey. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese fifty-two poems--along with an introduction by Arthur Zajonc, former President of the Mind-Life Institute, an afterword by Bradley Boeve, a renowned specialist in neurology, and an essay by the author recounting his Lewy body experiences in prose--constitute a remarkable and unique testimony that gives voice to an aspect of human experience that is all too often mute and ignored.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexander Dreier\u003c\/b\u003e was a biodynamic farmer, psychotherapist, actor, and comedian.
