Explore the depths of This is Not a Death Sentence, A Memoir in Verse by Anton Jones, where poetry meets the raw truths of living on the schizophrenic spectrum. Jones crafts a poignant narrative that weaves together the threads of depression, mania, boxing, door-to-door sales, delusional crushes, poverty, haunted houses, suicide, healthcare challenges, homelessness, fatherhood, and the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest.  

Each poem serves as a fragment of Jones's fractured reality, reflecting the relentless struggle to conceal stigmatized symptoms, only to confront them head-on. His poetry captures the essence of his lived experience, depicting the suffocation of coherent thought through a cascade of movements, associations, and vivid hallucinogenic imagery. 

Despite years of decline and what seemed like an endless fight, Jones finds the strength to confront his illness, refusing to surrender to despair. This is Not a Death Sentence is a testament to resilience, showcasing Jones's determination to reclaim his life and narrative, proving that he is far more than a diagnosis.
