{"product_id":"poems-cornelis-pj-visser-marchant-9780645074338","title":"Poems: Quite a Journey","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection of poems, written between 1999 and 2006, has taken twenty years to bring together into a single publication. They were never written for this purpose, nor for broader general consumption. These poems are the result of the inner cathartic process of reflection and introspection, occurring during a multi-year period of severe clinical depression. I put this publication together for general interest and in the hope that it may help others in the same battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately I overcame this dark period in my life when I took full personal responsibility over my mental states and decided it was time I did so. With support I slowly weaned off the medication in contrast to psychiatric advice (Against the Grain) - turns out at some point the ever increasing dosage with its side effects took over my symptoms and created a never-ending spiral the doctor never picked up on. The lesson in this is to accept and take full personal ownership over your mind and mental states - you have agency and complete power over the thoughts and feelings you hold onto - IF you are willing to accept it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornelis Pj Visser-Marchant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0645074330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780645074338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Freedom Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.12d","brand":"Cornelis Pj Visser-Marchant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487502708991,"sku":"9780645074338","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a95cca5-5589-41df-a3e3-f22fdb91989f.jpg?v=1778060813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poems-cornelis-pj-visser-marchant-9780645074338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
