Isolation Has a Dress Code: Poetry Misdiagnosed as Therapy
by Tina MorlockPublish: Apr 06, 2019Poetry Book Overview
From Tina Morlock--a debut poetry collection that shatters the notion that all girls (or women) must attain perfection, both outwardly and inwardly. It sheds a spotlight on the dark and the light sides of depression, ptsd, personality disorders, and other mental illnesses we're taught to hide from the world. Isolation Has a Dress Code talks a walk in the sometimes-too-dark-park that's all too familiar with lifelong depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, personality disorders, suicide, and emotional isolation.
It opens with a moving introduction letter to readers who can relate to the struggles that women of all ages experience in their fight to be okay. And it shares a private collection of emotional poetry from the author that are not only authentic to her lifelong fight with mental illness, but will resonate with others' battles as well.
