Now seeking community support via Kickstarter, a new collection of works, including poetry, plays, short stories, horror stories, and personal essays.\n<\/div>\n

Before<\/span>\/<\/span>After<\/span> is a powerful <\/span>new book about growth<\/span><\/a> told through a <\/span>beautiful collection of poems<\/span><\/a>, plays, and short stories. Written by Erik Keevan, a poet and writer from Seattle, Washington, <\/span>Before\/After <\/span>chronicles Keevan’s life after a suicide attempt in 2019 and juxtaposes a change in writing style for this popular author.<\/span><\/p>\n

Complete with detailed personal essays about the topics of change, growth, and overcoming depression, <\/span>Before<\/span>\/<\/span>After<\/span> shows how Keevan learned to change, grow, and improve over the years after falling victim to his own mind and drinking. Making the decision in a hospital to find a new path of self-love and self-exploration that fateful day in 2019, <\/span>Before<\/span>\/<\/span>After <\/span>is about taking life into one’s own hands. Bringing a conversation of everyday mental health issues full circle, <\/span>Before\/After<\/span> breaks down a relatively taboo culture in our society by directly mentioning the difficulties of mental health, such as substance abuse, and a commitment to one’s journey to survive against all the odds.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Before\/After<\/span> collection includes an official selection from the Playwright’s Round Table, <\/span>But What If It Was<\/span>, and other notable works, including <\/span>4 Horror Stories<\/span> written for the Victorian Horror Troupe Phantasmagoria and others featured in <\/span>Brushing Literary Journal<\/span> and <\/span>Obituaries for Terrible People<\/span>, Keevan’s first published collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming soon later this year, <\/span>Before\/After<\/span> is the perfect read for people struggling against the perils of mental health, or simply those looking to empower someone else on their journey to overcome.
