Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Elemental Epiphany: Poems That Changed My Life is a raw and transformative poetry collection that explores the depths of mental illness, the complexities of love and loss, and the courageous journey toward healing. Brandon Karl Hoffmann offers readers an unflinchingly honest chronicle of liv…ing with a mental disorder, depression, and anxiety while discovering the redemptive power of creative expression.Divided into five evocative sections, this collection takes readers from the darkest corners of suicidal ideation through the tentative steps of romance, the devastation of heartbreak, the burning intensity of anger and failure, and ultimately to the hard-won peace of turning "hell to home." Hoffmann's accessible yet profound verse speaks directly to anyone who has struggled with mental health challenges, navigated complicated relationships, or questioned their place in the world.The collection opens with "Mental Defaults," a stark examination of depression, panic attacks, racing thoughts, and the daily battle with suicidal ideation. Poems like "Defaults," "Panic (a poem to be read aloud)," and "Not Cut Out for This" break the silence around mental illness with visceral honesty. "Finding My Way" shifts to moments of unexpected connection and tentative hope, including the charming narrative poem "Trivia Night" and the tender "Falling for a Poet." "Falling Attachments" explores the vulnerability of love and the pain of distance and insecurity, while "A Mind on Fire" channels rage, frustration, and the reality of caring for family through crisis. The final section, "Hell to Home," offers hard-earned wisdom about survival, identity, and building a life worth living.Hoffmann writes with the authenticity of lived experience, addressing topics often avoided in contemporary poetry-psychiatric medication, custody struggles, addiction recovery, explosive anger, and the messy reality of mental health treatment. Yet this collection never wallows in darkness. Instead, it demonstrates how poetry itself becomes a tool for survival, a method of processing trauma, and a pathway to transformation. From the haunting opening line "Why is suicide my default?" to the triumphant declaration "I turned my hell into a home," these poems chart one person's evolution from barely surviving to genuinely thriving.Perfect for readers who appreciate confessional poetry, spoken word, and contemporary verse that tackles real human struggles, Elemental Epiphany joins the tradition of poets who use their craft to illuminate the shadows and celebrate resilience. This collection will resonate with fans of Rupi Kaur, Atticus, and Lang Leav, as well as anyone seeking poetry that serves as both mirror and companion through life's most challenging moments. Whether you're navigating your own mental health journey, supporting someone who is, or simply drawn to honest emotional expression, these poems offer validation, understanding, and ultimately, hope.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Deep Rest: Poetry from a Healing Mind is a poetry collection by Brandon Karl Hoffmann that meets you exactly where you are. Born from journal entries, late-night voice memos, and drafted emails written to no one, these poems capture the lived reality of mental health challenges - the intrusi…ve thoughts, the numbness, the grief, and the fragile, stubborn desire to stay.Organized into six intimate sections, the book moves through the quieter, harder corners of the mind - depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, emotional disregulation - before opening outward into the complicated territory of relationships, caregiving, loss, and ultimately, love and belonging. The final poems arrive not as resolution, but as proof: connection is possible, and it is worth working toward.Hoffmann writes in accessible poetry and lyric prose that speaks plainly about experiences many people carry in silence. Deep Rest is for readers drawn to confessional poetry, mental health memoirs, and emotionally honest writing - for anyone who has sat in a crowded room and felt entirely invisible, or who has wanted to say something true and couldn't find the words.This is a book about surviving. And about what makes surviving worth it. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Poetic Journey Through the Human ExperienceWhat happens when silence becomes too heavy to bear, and the only way forward is through words?In this unflinchingly honest poetry collection, Brandon Karl Hoffmann transforms the quiet desperation of pandemic isolation into a powerful exploration… of what it means to be human in an uncertain world. Born from empty office spaces and sleepless nights, these poems navigate the turbulent waters of mental health, love, loss, and the relentless search for meaning in the mundane.From the tender vulnerability of "Tender Love" to the crushing weight of "Rattling Depression," Hoffmann's voice cuts through pretense with surgical precision. His words don't just describe experience-they inhabit it, pulling readers into moments both achingly familiar and startlingly revelatory. Whether capturing the electric anticipation of a first date, the suffocating grip of anxiety, or the quiet heroism of simply choosing to try again, each poem serves as both mirror and window.Hoffmann's poetry doesn't offer easy answers or false comfort. Instead, it provides something far more valuable: the recognition that you are not alone in your struggles, and that even in our darkest moments, there is power in the simple act of continuing."I hope this collection allows you to connect to a deeper part of yourself and you come away with a desire to allow your emotions to be felt. Here's to growing, building, and becoming, whatever that may look like for you." -Brandon Karl HoffmannPerfect for readers of Rupi Kaur, Tyler Knott Gregson, and anyone seeking authentic voices in contemporary poetry.
