I'm not sure about mental patients, but people with disorders like autism and ADHD have difficulty processing sensory information. There is a disconnect between the information the body receives and how the brain interprets it. While a neurotypical person may perceive mushy clay and slimy paint...

I completely agree. These kids are definitely not broken. They do not need fixing (a la Jenny McCarthy and her crusade to "cure" autism). Really, it is about building acceptance by others and developing coping strategies for the kids in question. Some of the kids I teach can do amazing things...

I teach children with special needs for a living, including (obviously) kids on the autism spectrum. I agree that kids are being diagnosed at an alarming rate. Unfortunately, without a diagnosis services are not accessible. Parents with kids on the border are pushing for diagnosis so they can...

Thank you David. This clears up the contradictory online information. And, I'm also quite impressed with the volume of poetry included by the literary giant. Indeed, his work should be included in many more anthologies.

Confusing for sure. I want to get my hands on the poem that quotes Bukowski's mockingbird without having to scour used bookstores for old copies of Norton Anthologies. You'd think the title and author would be available somewhere online, if not the poem itself. Thanks for your help.

Thank you DiB, but I mean the non-Bukowski poem in which "the mockingbird" is quoted. Sorry for being unclear.

The Norton Anthology published a poem (1994) that quoted from "the mockingbird". Does anyone have that poem?

You could try baking soda or toothpaste.

This essay is scary. I don't know for sure, but it reads like it was written by a fourth year undergraduate student or an uninterested MA student. Very surface level claims and support imo.

Thank you bospress and hank solo for pointing out the obvious, but I was indeed asking about the unnamed publication that mjp picked up on. I will try to make myself more clear in the future.:wb: Thank you mjp for the helpful ( if somewhat condescending) link. :)

Which publication are you referring to here?

Wow. Thanks.

Where do you find this stuff, mjp? This is an amazing and beautiful poem. I can't believe it was so savagely edited into the shorter version.

I'm really curious what people (mainstream, I guess) thought of CB's work when first published. Does anyone here know of reviews or have personal anecdotes about this?

If I thought myself better than people on this forum I wouldn't be soliciting advice, feedback and resources much less sticking around here. Sorry to have inadvertently crashed your party.
