Kit Moon
Inked Kalopsia
Kit Moon’s debut book, published as a part of the University of Kent’s Book Project module, explores what it means to grow up with mental illnesses and trauma. The title’s use of ‘Kalopsia’ reflects the difficulties of recovery and finding beauty within a worldview so darkened by experience that form the central theme of this beautiful exploration of identity and growth.
