From the Breton Books website:

A rare and fascinating book, this is Mary Ellen Tramble’s haunting, tender autobiography of her life with schizophrenia. With the power and detail of a novel, and laced with her small, strong poems, it is, as well, an extraordinary and moving work of art. “Listen to the Wind” displays the tense and terrifying sentences, the sudden self-mocking and degradation, the grand insights that take Tramble (and us) high on the ferris wheel of emotions—and then toss us overboard for the plunge [a person living with schizophrenia] knows only too well. In “Listen to the Wind,” Mary Ellen Tramble has made of her struggle a lasting piece of extraordinary writing. We can only be grateful for her determination to record, and her courage and generosity to share. “A monument to the tenacity of the human spirit in its struggle to face mysterious terrors, maintain hope and avoid despair.” — Sheldon Currie, author of “The Glace Bay Miners’ Museum” "For all of the pain and fear in ‘Listen to the Wind,’ there is also great love and beauty.” — Patrick F. Walsh, editor and author of “The History of Antigonish”
