Overview

Standing on the /Slash/ is a raw and unflinching journey through the liminal spaces between endings and beginnings, trauma and healing, silence and voice. Through letters addressed to bosses, psychiatrists, therapists, and a younger self, this collection maps the landscape of workplace trauma, psychiatric treatment, and the painful excavation of childhood wounds. Written with visceral honesty and striking imagery, these poems chronicle one autistic person's passage through redundancy, PTSD, and the fragmentation of self-while refusing to let go of hope. From the depths of ""holes"" to the promise of ""bridges,"" from medication's psychedelic distortions to the grounding power of nature, this is poetry that sits with discomfort and emerges transformed. At its heart, this collection is about surviving systems not built for neurodivergent minds, reclaiming lost parts of self, and discovering that recovery is not a return to ""normal"" but the brave work of becoming whole. With references ranging from Frodo's sorrow to the resilience of apple trees, these poems offer both witness and wisdom to anyone who has stood on the threshold between worlds, searching for permission to land. For readers of disability poetry, trauma narratives, and autistic memoir-in-verse.
