Invisible Steel is a compilation of poetry and flash fiction that portrays various situations and feelings of different characters that suffer from mental illnesses in times of isolation and confinement. In most cases, it maintains the anonymity of the point of view and, therefore, the identity of the characters, allowing the reader to connect with all the stories; however, there is a connection between all of them. Pain, loneliness, addiction but also hope and resilience are all emotions and experiences depicted through the journey that this book represents.
