The Sunrise in Arcadia

By Ms. Alysaundra J. Harrison

Have you ever experienced something that drastically saved your life? Something that gave you complete clarity as to who you are and what you're meant for?

Immerse yourself in a journey of self-reflection and self-discovery 31 years in the making.

Transitioning is never easy. And it's met with a lot of backlash and stigma from those that don't or will never understand. Through the poet's journey in this compilation, you'll meet the characters and hardships in her escape to Arcadia, a euphoric utopia found through an awakening. You'll dive into the psyche of broken relationships, broken families, trust, self-reflection, gender dysphoria, and so much more.

The 31 one poems in this compilation each represent a life altering moment or person that helped shape the poet's eventual coming out as a transgender woman, and the pitfalls and empowerment that comes with transition, including an ongoing clash with "the dead self".

Welcome to Arcadia.
