Semi-Silent Mania is written from the floor of a 200-square-foot apartment, from parking lots, trains, planes, and harbors, from the wreckage of a life he didn't choose. This debut collection gives voice to experiences rarely spoken aloud: being parentified as a child, being made homeless at eighteen, growing up with suicidal ideation, living with chronic disabilities, and navigating a queer identity in a world that wasn't built to hold him.
Grant writes for anyone who has ever felt invisible in their own pain, who has screamed until they were blue in the face and been met with silence. This is not a comfortable book. It is an honest one. And for the right reader, it may feel like finally being seen.
