I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry by Halsey

shadow_cat94's review against another edition

dark emotional fast-paced

2.5

Halsey's first poetry book is written in free-verse touching on a variety of topics and a style similar to her music rather than more classic/lyrical poetry. I liked some of these poems more than others, but most of thems I personally felt like they could have used more work before publication or were starting ideas rather than whole poems (one was even a portion of a song of hers).

It travels from her childhood through adulthood touching between romanti  relationships, family dynamics, traumatic experiences, drug abuse from friends and partners, and the impacts of fame to sum up some of the overarching subjects. Please check the triggers before deciding to read this book if you struggle with any heavy topics.

It's cool to see the relation between these poems and the lyrics on her Manic album.
