"This is my first time reading this author and initially I was a little thrown off by what I thought was unevenness, but once I began Part II it all began to fall into place. What I’ve read some describe as “missing†felt to me instead as though the entire collection read the way a manic depressive mind functions.
I appreciated the raw, emotional, unfolding “story†of love and loss that was Part I as much as the randomness of mental illness and more of Part II. “For Vincent Van Gogh, Patron Saint of Psychotic Manic Depressives†was by far my favorite of this collection. “On the worst days as to be manic depressive is to stand on ground that can’t promise to stay beneath you" is my favorite line, for its prose as well as its honesty.
And, not that we should ever judge a book by its cover, but in this case the cover is truly stunning and the reason the book caught my eye in the first place.
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me an ARC of this book."

- She never dissappoints. I am so happy to have this book, I actually met Clementine a few months back at a reading and she was so wonderful/powerful. This book is everything youd expect it to be beautiful, thoughtful, clear and unmistakeable. I have been saving money recently but I just HAD to buy this book for my mental health and it has helped tremendously.
- This book is beautifully written. Def one of my favorite poetry books. Clementine Von Radics is wonderful.

What your tough looks likeâ€
This book is gorgeous from the cover to the words. The poems are deeply relatable for me and made me feel a lot of capital F Feelings. The mark of a great poetry collection for me is if they make me cry and this one had me there. I highly recommend you check this collection out and I can’t wait to break into more of von Radics works. - This collection is powerful. This is not a collection for the light hearted. It deals with several strong topics including rape and abortion but ending with beautiful love poems. This book made me stop and rethink so many things, made me question even more and really left an impact on me. It is not an easy read but one that you shouldn’t miss out on.
