      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Now seeking community support via Kickstarter, a new collection of works, including poetry, plays, short stories, horror stories, and personal essays.</p><p>Seattle, WA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 09/17/2020 --  Before/After is a powerful <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="new book about growth" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/143793683/before-after">new book about growth</a> told through a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="beautiful collection of poems" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/143793683/before-after">beautiful collection of poems</a>, plays, and short stories. Written by Erik Keevan, a poet and writer from Seattle, Washington, Before/After chronicles Keevan&apos;s life after a suicide attempt in 2019 and juxtaposes a change in writing style for this popular author.<br />
<br />
Complete with detailed personal essays about the topics of change, growth, and overcoming depression, Before/After 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, Before/After is about taking life into one&apos;s own hands. Bringing a conversation of everyday mental health issues full circle, Before/After 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&apos;s journey to survive against all the odds.<br />
<br />
The Before/After collection includes an official selection from the Playwright&apos;s Round Table, But What If It Was, and other notable works, including 4 Horror Stories written for the Victorian Horror Troupe Phantasmagoria and others featured in Brushing Literary Journal and Obituaries for Terrible People, Keevan&apos;s first published collection.<br />
<br />
Coming soon later this year, Before/After 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.
