Poems about depression, anxiety, love, and the long work of healing.

Elemental Epiphany opens with a hard question - Why is suicide my default? - and ends with an answer: I turned my hell into a home. In five sections, Brandon Karl Hoffmann writes his way through panic attacks and medication, first dates and falling apart, rage, family crisis, and addiction recovery, to a life built on purpose.

This is confessional, spoken-word-inflected contemporary poetry in plain language with no wall between the page and the reader. For anyone living with a mental illness, loving someone who is, or looking for proof that the worst chapter is not the last one.
