VALLEY OF WANT is a song in celebration of the difficulty of naming, of seeing, of putting one's finger on the elusive thing one feels is true. Graceful and witty, these poems are grounded in the thrilling stillness of nature and the contours of human connection through our self-performances, through our monsters, through our stories, through the language that makes us unmistakably ourselves. Poetry.

Poetry. What is the spirit of our age, and what are the consequences of that spirit? THE POLITE SOCIETY pursues these questions, urging readers to ignore politics in its infamous, decadent sense and focus instead on how we might still work together to flourish together. "Seamlessly the beautiful poems of Ross White's THE POLITE SOCIETY traverse the page, but then, reading, you are struck by the sense of language as suddenly all the more mysterious—language, that is, as the ultimate system, frighteningly capable of both negotiation and song. If 'the system' threatens an all-encompassing politics, which it might, resistance is found in ourselves, our own imaginations. These poems are the proof." —Sally Keith

It has been demonstrated that levels of depression  are elevated in individuals diagnosed with  Schizophrenia. This monograph describes doctoral  research that investigated the role of hopelessness  in depression experienced by individuals with  Schizophrenia. High levels of hopelessness are  highlighted as a key factor mediating the difference  between depression scores of individuals with  Schizophrenia and those with no history of contact  with psychiatric services.  Associations have  previously been noted between the individual?s  personal beliefs about the illness and the  occurrence of depression following Schizophrenia.   It is proposed that these associations may in fact  be a statistical artefact of the relationship  between hopelessness and personal beliefs about the  illness. The potential interplay between depression,  hopelessness and self-harming behaviour in  individuals with Schizophrenia is discussed.
