Thank you to Goodreads and the author, Wesley Boydd Thompson, for the ebook version from a giveaway!
This was a lovely and simple collection that truly expresses the struggles with mental health, particularly depression. It's not a sadness; it's a hopelessness and despair that is all-consuming. And that is conveyed brilliantly here. I was concerned with the rhyming - as lately I've found it off-putting in its usage - however, it enhanced much of the meaning in the poems where it was used. And I appreciate that more than I can say.
The approach is no frills. There's no pretense, no flourishing. It's honest. Perhaps there is more honesty that could have been explored; however, that doesn't detract from the honesty and emotion present on the page. Truly a fine collection of poetry I greatly enjoyed.

This book offers an honest look at mental illness through the eyes of a poet. Sad, surprising, hopeful, and cathartic, this book allows those who struggle with mental health to know they are not alone.
