Trauma Magic is a love letter to our bodies and minds. It is a hero's journey disguised as a collection of essays. It begins with the enchanted landscape of Southern Ontario, the wild dancing of fairies teaching us boundaries and ecological ethics. It traces the call of magic through the queer desires of the Holy Virgin Mary, the movements of animals in the forest at night, and the practice of witchcraft in everyday life. Trauma Magic carries the generative tension of expansive desire and unbearable pain, taking the reader on a downward journey to the underworld of addiction and psychiatric incarceration, only to return to the surface in an explosive reclaiming of agency and power
