The poems in this collection represent a bold journey into the mind of someone who has experienced deep, profound depression and suicidal ideation. They also represent a dream-like escape from the darkness that seems to surround so many of us.
This anthology of poetry was inspired by and the inspiration for the experimental magic realism/alchemical novel, The Arcane Diary. These poems explore themes such as: mental illnesses that often go undiagnosed, experimentation with substances and healing potential, suicidal ideation, and self-discovery - all from an honest, heartfelt, hopeful perspective.
Arcane Poetry is a compilation of poems that explore the dark depths of the human psyche. These poems were written by someone who understands madness and has fought their way back from the brink of suicide.
This anthology offers readers a unique look into the mind of someone living with mental illness and inspiration for those looking to reclaim their healing journey. Arcane Poetry is full of dark humour and sharp sarcasm, as well as hope and inspiration. Suppose you live with mental illness or know someone seeking to understand or overcome their struggles. In that case, Arcane Poetry is a must-read.
