Endorphin Brigade: Fruits, Vegetables and My Journey with MS
The first half of Endorphin Brigade is humorous poems written from the perspective of personified fruits and vegetables: "I have to look and feel firm," declares a string bean... and the second, and more serious half, relates the author's experiences of living with MS (multiple sclerosis), plus poems about history, the modern world, politics, personal memories, reflections and travels. (Some of these are funny too!) In his introduction, Savadsky explains the title and book's overall purpose: "Hormones, called endorphins, are activated in the brain. Endorphins reduce stress and pain as well as cause a euphoric effect... Endorphins are a divine gift to human beings. Through laughter, lets generate many of them.".
