Taking inspiration from Al Jaffee’s illustrated fold-ins in \u003ci\u003eMAD\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, Tysdal explores living with mental illness through a new kind of poetry: the fold-in poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this innovative collection, each poem does not end at the bottom of the page; instead, the reader is invited to complete the poem by folding the page to reveal the final line.
