Happy, Okay?: Poems about Anxiety, Depression, Hope, & Survival

A poetry collection crafted to inspire healing in those tackling mental health issues or to help those closest to them.Paloma is faking it.

On the outside, she’s A-Okay.

She’s electrified at work, there is a cadence in her step as she walks her dog, she posts memes on Facebook, and she keeps up with most relationships.

Looks can be deceiving, however.

Inside, Paloma is just going through the motions, and she feels like things are spiraling out of control.

But when things are at their darkest, dawn arrives with clarity and focus, and with it, healing.Paloma learns to value small glimmering moments of joy rather than searching for constant happiness, thus building hope for her future.An electric roadmap to healing and a manifesto for wholeness, Happy, Okay?: Poems about Anxiety, Depression, Hope, and Survival, is written in a contemporary style reminiscent of Rupi Kaur and Pierre Alex Jeanty.

But this poetry book is not simply a narrative spun in verse.

It is an invitation to readers to shake off the stigma and silence of mental health and find strength in the only voice that matters: your own.
