Aisha Tariqa’s moving and quasi-autobiographical poetry channels both the depths of sadness, loneliness and despair endured by those suffering from a mental illness like anxiety or depression, as well as the concomitant desire for life and happiness.

The release of her collected works is particularly timely in light of the constantly increasing rates of mental health disorders in the U.S. The latest figures from the CDC show that more than half of the country will be diagnosed with a mental illness in their lifetime.
As such, Aisha Tariqa has translated her raw and often painful emotional experiences into the written word in order to extend a hand of consolation to those facing similar anguishes and mental health struggles, and ultimately to offer a note of hope.
Her new collected works comprise two key titles. The first book of poetry is her debut, ‘Four Years in Chrysalis’, which uses a coming-of-age framework to explore the turmoils of late adolescence and early adulthood. The second, ‘Acres of Shadow’, plunges deeper into the heart of depression to discuss suicide and suicide prevention.
For Aisha Tariqa, the key to her work is empathy and shared experience. Her work gives both compassion and credence to the experiences of people with mental illness who may otherwise be isolated due to socio-cultural shame or stigma. And, critically, it also provides a roadmap to recovery, underscoring that amongst the bad there is always good.
Her collected works are available both together and individually on Amazon. Interested readers can purchase them as a hardcover or paperback, or as an e-book for Kindle.
