Description
A visceral look at the bizarre entanglement of destructive and creative forces, Live Through This is a collection of original stories, essays, artwork and photography. It explores the use of art to survive abuse, incest, madness and depression and the often deep-seated impulse toward self-destruction including cutting, eating disorders, and addiction. Here some of the most compelling cartoonists, novelists, poets, dancers and playwrights mark a path for survival through their art.
