Author Description

No one can see the world that exists inside one's head. Sometimes you might wish you could close your eyes and never wake, drifting off peacefully into an eternal slumber. (No) I am (not) okay is Dre Hill's exploration into this hidden inner world and what happens within. This chapbook centers its dialogue on suicide and ideations, mental health, along with commentary on religion, race, and gender, and how these structures further cloud the waters of the mind. Here, Hill reckons with the weight of the war waged in one's own mind. (No) I am (not) okay is raw, unashamed, and unafraid, willing to say things that many think but feel they could never articulate.
