Description: Ailments of My Mind is a collection of contemporary and free-style poetry that offers an intimate and often heartbreaking portrait of life, love, and tragedy. Inspired by the loss of his mother, Timm Dolley delves deep into the roots of his past to decipher the beauty of passion and the pain of separation as he struggles to find peace in life after death. From "disposition" to "revelation," he confronts his homosexuality, death, stereotypes, theology and modern-day society while exuding a charm and crassness that is both quirky and disarming.
