Emotions shape our reality.
When we feel inspired, we look towards the unknown and we become eager and drunk on possibility. There are times though, when a nameless ache begins somewhere deep in our rib cage, and an indescribable bad feeling morphs into something insidious.
Dark Night of the Soul offers an unflinching, personal depiction of the effect depression and anxiety can have on an individual's perspective of the world. After years of struggling with these conditions, feelings of shame, isolation, fear and despair become as terrifying and dangerous as a creature with claws. A monster lurks in this darker shadow of reality, and its poison hides in honey.
With incredible intimacy, this deeply immersive collection of free-verse poetry shows the difficult transition from self-destruction to self-compassion and patience.
