“Beautiful Heartbreak” is a seamlessly weaved story of Depression, PTSD, and Anorexia, depicted through a collection of poems. Perry Kay opens a little crack in the world of those who battle their minds every day.
From the depths of pain and despair beautiful art was born, hence the title “Beautiful Heartbreak”. Through every step in her recovery and personal journey, Perry writes poetry. Her goal with this book is to spread more Mental Health awareness and to normalize and expose the dark and ugly side of Mental Illness. The media will only show you so much, the skinny girl who nibbles on celery and. the pretty girl who cries mascara tears. Beautiful Heartbreak however, will give you more. It will give you the truth. So, grab a box of tissues or glass of wine and get ready to cry, scream, get angry, feel raw fear and pain, through the author’s writing.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The inspiration behind "Beautiful Heartbreak" is my struggle with Depression, PTSD, and Eating Disorder. I use my pain to create art, hence the title "Beautiful Heartbreak." I've realized that so many people feel so isolated and invalidated because society doesn't like to discuss the dark side of Mental Illness. My goal with this book is to end the stigma, to normalize the feelings and symptoms of our illness, and to make others realize that they are not alone.
Book Sample
My skin is iron grates on prison windows
miles and miles of metal trapping spirit in little rusted cracks
when rainbows spill from forbidden crevices into runoff on dirty city streets
they paint murals on abandoned buildings
blood streaked across a darkening sky
this is real art from shattered hopes and heartbreak
