First time author and local Bakersfield resident Gael C. McNally has written a collection of 128 poems entitled "My Inner Schizophrenic - Poems for the Working Man". This book was written by a diagnosed third-generation schizophrenic giving hope to others with mental disabilities that you don't have to give up on your dreams of creative endeavors. Gael McNally graduated from Marymount College with an A.A. in liberal arts. She is hoping to pursue her B.A. in English Literature at Cal State Bakersfield. This book contains poems in short story form and also includes an essay of her illness and a short story. Many poems, as well, touch upon historical references to Ireland. This book can be purchased for $12.95 on Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com, and it can also be purchased in e-format for $6.00 from iuniverse.com. Gael hopes that sales of her book will help with expenses at CSUB.
