Psychosis and Our Other Madnesses - A Pocket Aftershock from The Aftershock Review

Psychosis and Our Other Madnesses: A Pocket Aftershock from The Aftershock Review is a compact anthology of poems exploring psychosis, altered states, mental illness, survival and the languages we use when ordinary language begins to fail. Edited in the spirit of The Aftershock Review's survivor-led ethos, this Pocket Aftershock gathers work that speaks with urgency, tenderness and complexity about minds under pressure. These poems resist simplification. They make room for fear, strangeness, stigma, vision, crisis, care and recovery. Small in format but expansive in emotional range, Psychosis and Our Other Madnesses is a necessary collection for readers interested in poetry, mental health, lived experience and the difficult work of being believed.
