Fans of Sylvia Plath, "The Flower That Went Mad" and Charles Bukowski will find pieces of themselves in this edgy debut poetry collection.

I look right through the light
it fills me with courage and strength
to fight against my demons
I'm not alone anymore
I slowly stand up

Behind the Ghost Metropolis dives into the shadows of the mind -- mental health, trauma, loneliness -- but it also finds light in hope, travel, and resilience. Written during Annette's manic and depressive episodes, these poems are raw and deeply personal, reflecting her struggle with bipolar disorder and her fight to rise above the odds.

She wrote these poems to break the stigma around mental illness and to remind anyone feeling lost or defeated that there is always hope. This book is for those who've been knocked down, dragged through darkness, and still seek their own hidden light and want to heal.

Annette's prose is both lyrical and sharp and feels like unfiltered glimpses into the poet's soul. This blend of vulnerability and universal relatability makes the work profoundly moving and memorable.
