This book represents life and meaning to the universe. A compilation of the things I was seeing, hoping and feeling at the time. You will find it to be styled, complex, and even sometimes funny. I often think a poem is like a delusion in you''re heart. It has to have meaning, direction, and in the end a since of solution. In this particular direction I often found sadness and that''s not usual for me. I am a thirty three year old living in south Texas. I grew up in rural Washington D, C. and lived there until I was 28 and moved to Texas. I have always loved poetry and looked forward to every English class that had something to do with poetry in my short time on this earth. I hope you like this book and even if it''s not what you expected appreciate the hard work and dedication it took to bring it to you.

The story that unfolds in Memorias del Sanatorio has its beginnings in the mental vortex that engulfs Arnaldo Morales after the suicide of his father. There is no possible resurrection after that fact,and our main character is hospitalized in a quirky mental sanatorioum in Spain, where the sons and daughters of well to do in Latin American families, as well as of the Spanish bourgeois, are hospitalized with the hope of some miraculous cure of their mental illness from which they will continue to suffer in the clinic, year after year, in the hallways and the rooms of the Esquerdo The characters that inhabit these halls of the asylum are markedly interesting in their contorted psychologies, in their delusional systems, in the inventions of the imaginations that lead them somewhere that they do not remotely expect: the end of their shadows past the gray walls, the corridors they follow going nowhere through the center of the despair of their schizophrenias: the end of their delusions that do not provide with a way out. The writer has gotten his material for the novel from his own experience as he walked these corridors, and the streets that appear in the narrative; and of course from the experience of mental illness. One more important aspect of the narrative: The narrator find himself in the streets of Miami Beach throughout the novel, from where he recollects the thirty years past when the remembrances from the sanatorium took place. The world is going to end, like it happens in the end of every millennium, and a new imperator comes to MB to witnesses the executions of the insane.

He endures them throughout the turmoil, eventually realizing his family is what he holds dearest. Will he be saved from his visual haunts that terrorize him at every turn? Will he ever be free from the condemning, lost troupe that needs justice to rectify one dubious act of slaughter?

The results of the survey show that inter-personal violence is widespread: approximately one third of the population has been affected by inter-personal violence at some time in their lives; one in twenty women have experienced serious sexual assault; and one in five women and one in ten men have been victims of domestic violence. The results also indicate that there are high levels of repeat victimisation, especially in cases of domestic violence.
