One of my favorite books last year was The Center Cannot Hold a story about a life filled with madness. I lent it to one of the people I work with in my career as a peer support specialist. I told her that the title was based upon a famous poem. Probably by Keats. And I said that I used the phrase to signal friends that I was having trouble.
