     We let you sit and spy on the poems in this maiden issue of PoetrySz, an e-zine featuring poets with mental illness. These poems offer a glimpse into the unique lives of individuals who, like all people, have struggled or are struggling with their demons. We hope PoetrySz helps demystify mental illness.
