My poem "Dissociation" is featured in Destigmatized: Voices for Change. A book including poems, stories, and personal essays, this anthology hopes to combat mental health stigma. It will be distributed to mental health facilities across the United States.
A copy of the anthology can be purchased here.
Below is an excerpt from my poem:
It happened to you; you were there.
You were wearing jeans and a sheer,
floral shirt—
the one you bought over the summer for $1.
It was mid-January. It was 9 or 10 am.
What little sun there was
left shadows on the gray steps.
You sat there waiting,
with a knot in your stomach.
