What does the creative spirit look like after a brain injury? How does one move forward? In this short book of wonders, Piper Selden examines just that: how the brain is wired or has been rewired through life experience: trauma, disease, exposure, emotion, other people. Any and all of it.

Brain Mapping is a creative exploration of the ever-changing terrain of mind, an expression of creative spirit in all its dimensions. Life moments are mapped to parts of the human brain with pieces of creative self-writing: memories, delusions, and bits of brain fluff. Piper admits that peeling back the past to understand the now can be uncomfortable, messy work. "But if we don't look at what we find, how can we transform? How can we grow and move forward?" This book is an attempt to answer those questions, a discovery of self through recovery and writing. "Welcome to my brain," Piper tells her readers. "Please bus your table when you leave."
