Shards is a bold and unflinching poetry anthology dedicated to mental health awareness. Published by The Ravens Quoth Press in 2024, it brings together a compelling collection of voices from across the globe to share their lived experiences with mental illness, trauma, and recovery. This volume shines a stark light on subjects often left in the shadows—depression, anxiety, dissociation, grief, PTSD, self-harm, suicide, and psychiatric care—yet does so with remarkable empathy and literary beauty.
The contributors deliver a breadth of poetic styles, from intimate free verse to haunting narrative forms. These poems are both individual outcries and collective affirmations of survival, showing readers they are not alone. Without glamorising or simplifying suffering, Shards humanises it, offering validation, compassion, and solidarity.
Ideal for those affected by mental health issues—whether personally or through loved ones—Shards is as much a cathartic experience as it is a literary one. It is a book that invites reflection, understanding, and the possibility of hope amidst the cracks.
The proceeds from this anthology will be split between an Australian, and a US based charity. Read More
