Our Asylum Memoir

So many people struggle with depression, anxiety, and confusion, often resorting to self-harm as a means of relief. Sometimes though, poetry can offer a better escape.

Our Asylum Memoir presents a dark, mysterious anthology of poetry inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft. Based upon philosophy and mythology, these twenty poems journey into the depth of author Zane Murray's beliefs. The book details descriptions of the darker side of his mind and the events of his life. Murray writes with the hope that others may be able to relate to his emotions. This collection, based on an Alighierian structure, dives into a dark pit on many distinct levels and then returns to the top once more.

This collection of poetry explores the dark turns and corners of mental illness with the goal of helping readers understand there is light at the end of the tunnel.
