"To dive into Phil Smith's writing - a dazzling blend of poetry, ethnography, social critique, and gleefully mad wordplay - can feel more like taking a psychedelic drug than like reading the work of a distinguished scholar. And yet, a distinguished scholar he is. For two decades, he has been a bold trailblazer and innovator in the realms of education, disability studies, mad studies, neurodiversity, and poetry, and in exploring how these realms can interconnect and inform one another Each chapter of this book is a poetic thought experiment that shreds cultural norms and assumptions, points the way toward new creative directions in scholarship, and might make your brain explode."- Nick Walker Author, educator, and neurodiversity scholar
