    About this ebook

    Dissociative is a brutally honest, beautifully vulnerable collection of poems. April’s heart is on her sleeve as she bids goodbye to fear and loss while she openly welcomes strength and hope. In this aesthetic poetry, she gives us a look into her life through the passing years, her struggle with love and loss, self-love and acceptance, and her endless questions of self-discovery. Dissociative is a raw and authentic look on the true thoughts of a promising young writer simply longing to reach people through her words.

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’
