Inhaltsangabe

Yet Another Alice Fallen: Adventures in Disassociation, Itey's follow-up to her first volume of poems, Substituting Dangers: A Journey with PTSD, once again explores the experience of repeated trauma. This time, Itey focuses on the phenomenon of disassociation - a physiological and psychological event where the mind and body seem to separate. Making the parallel with Lewis Carroll's classic tale of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Itey creates a "word collage" to capture her own experience of abuse and betrayal, and the resulting phenomenon of disassociating. Her own words are woven together with the experiences and wisdom of other writers, poets, philosophers, and Survivors. In the prologue, she claims the identity of Alice - not Carroll's Alice - but a new fictional Alice that travels through the remnants of her fractured memories, and confronts the strained relationships with her family that result in the unearthing of these forbidden stories.
