Chronically Dramatic

This debut poetry collection traces the unexpected plot twists of a theater kid turned chronic illness warrior. From field day triumphs to Broadway revelations, from sudden detours to quiet resilience, Alyssa Marie Williams captures the chaos, comedy, and courage of learning to live in a body that doesn't always cooperate. Told with heart, humor, and a knack for dramatic flair, these memoir poems explore identity, purpose, pain-and the people who make it all bearable. Perfect for anyone navigating life's curveballs while still trying to dream big. Because sometimes, purpose sneaks in through the stage door.

Alyssa Marie Williams is a writer, theater enthusiast, and chronic overthinker from Long Island, New York. She holds a degree in theater and a deep appreciation for storytelling in all its forms. This is her debut poetry collection, created during the unpredictable, in-between moments that shaped her journey. hen she's not writing, she's probably watching reality TV, figuring out what to write about next, or wondering what else she can do (and usually trying it). She believes in big feelings, big dreams, and the quiet power of telling your story-even if you're not sure who's listening yet.
