Publisher's summary

Genius or Lunatic goes deeper into the mind of a paranoid schizophrenic. There is so much confusion in there. So much contradiction. So much religiosity. And there is much desire to know, understand, and find the truth.

Along the ride you will find yourself saying, "But in this poem didn't he just say this"? It will bring out emotions that you won't expect. This brings you into his pain and lets you experience it firsthand. You will find yourself in the midst of highly calculated intelligence. Yet at the same time you will be asking yourself if this guy is for real. Is he a genius or a lunatic? Enjoy.

“THE WARD”

After listening to the poems “The Ward”, “Mama”, and “My Angel” it’s tough to say which is the best. Let’s just agree that the whole darn book is good! Such powerful delivery, it gave me chills. 🥶🥶

WE WANT MORE!!!

Timothy judging from the reviews it’s safe to say we want more from you! This may be one of the best books I’ve listened to in a while. I found so many reasons to resonate with this book and feel every emotion. This audiobook was darn good and much needed! (Wait, can I say darn here)?🤔

inner struggle of one battling with schizophrenia

In his audiobook, “Genius or Lunatic,”Tim communicates with honesty and vulnerability the acute pain he experiences living with paranoid schizophrenia. And rages at an unjust social system at whose hands he has felt abuse. The poems are written in a conversational tone and read by a voice-over artist in a style that energizes the work. The poems let you into a world and experience you will not soon forget.

NO LUNATIC, DEFINITELY A GENIUS!🤓

I wish I knew Timothy Brown when I was a kid! I just couldn’t stop listening. This was entertaining and educational and a great journey into the inner world of a human mind through the eyes of someone who has figured it out. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us your story to learn from! A MUST LISTEN!!🤓
