Rebuilding Songs is an intense and brief collection of poems and journal entries offering a strange glimpse into a college student's experiences as he recovers from physical and psychological struggle. It is an abstract chronicling of the task of understanding and healing from interpersonal hurts alongside the later stages of prolonged starvation, hallucinations, and subtle distortions of reality. Everything in this short book was written in the fourteen days following the author's return to reality after two months of borderline insanity, including several sections that were penned during small relapses medically referred to as echoes. These poems are particularly interesting because of how unfiltered and stream-of-consciousness they are compared to those generated by normal mental processes, and they are important merely because they are unreproducible.
