Isabelle P. Byrne is a published poet and award winning short film maker. Isabelle’s work delves into themes of identity, mental health, sociological thought, and nihilism. Her debut collection, Pandora’s Ruin, published by Bent Key Publishing and sold through Waterstones, was selected for the British Library’s prestigious collection in 2022, and is archived at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities. The book is a mythological exploration of mental illness, hospitalisation, and the process of rebuilding a ‘ruined’ identity in recovery.
