The Yellow Wall-Paper Sanity Journal: What to Do In Your Own Four Walls
A witty, wise, and wonderful illustrated journal based on The Yellow Wall-Paper: A Graphic Novel. (Please note that while Amazon displays the journal interior in sepia, like its companion graphic novel, the journal comes in black & white.)
Funny, surprising, thoughtful, mischievous (and sometimes melodramatic) prompts throughout. Makes journaling more fun than perhaps it was meant to be.
Also includes poetry prompts and instructions for several form poems like the villanelle, pantoum, catalogue, and limerick (maybe the all-time best poetry forms to choose when you're feeling stuck in your own four walls!).

Amazing, spooky and riveting, no matter how many times I read it.

This graphic novel combines the language of Charlotte Perkins Gilman with Sara Barkat’s ink illustrations. Where Gilman’s work is often read as reflecting the horror of postpartum life in a historic context, this treatment digs further into the heroine as powerful and enigmatic.
Barkat’s nameless heroine is a creative trapped in the panoptic bars of mandated rest and prescribed mindlessness. This unique feminist retelling relies on unique and at times overwhelming visual storytelling through zig-zags, scribbles, and fiendish outline.
Truly a joy to read, and though this was a library copy, I’ll be searching out one to purchase for my home. I imagine, I’ll return to it again!
