Harnessing Darkness: Expressing Mental Illness Through Poetry
Show Guest: Caleb Woods
Harnessing Darkness traces the struggle of living with mental illness. Through sections aptly titled Birth, Life, Death, and Rebirth, Caleb Woods gives readers the experience of what it’s like to live in the mind of someone who struggles with a roller coaster of emotions on a daily basis.
Receiving five-star reviews on Amazons, one reader shared, &"As a high school English teacher, I love finding poetry that can and will speak to my students. This book is totally relatable to so many young people today and the struggles they face. Caleb takes the reader through the trials of mental illness with an honest and transparent voice. Both heart-breaking and poignant, this book speaks for those who struggle with depression but don’t know how to articulate it. This will become a staple for readers in my classroom.”
