Anthem-like poems about relationships, mental health, loss, and
recovery from the activist and bestselling author of Stuff I’ve Been
Feeling Lately. The reader’s experience with this unique collection
is lifted from the page as Alicia Cook has collaborated with a number
of up and coming musicians to transform some of her poetry into
song. Like her debut book, this one is divided into two parts.
Modeled after a vinyl record this time, the collection is separated
into the EP record, holding Cook’s shorter poetry, and the LP
record, holding Cook’s longer poetry, prose, and
songwriting. Together, they form an inspiring collection for all
those recovering from something. “Through each internal rhyme and
turn of phrase, she presents new ways of interpreting despair, courage
and overcoming. The poems are mostly devoid of gender pronouns,
favoring the first and second person to promote accessibility for
all. Cook is self-reliant and fully aware of how to make her voice
heard.” —Asbury Park Press “This book was raw . . . Alicia
Cook writes about very important topics, some of them really hard to
read about, especially if they hit too close to home . . . You
will always find a poem, a sentence, something that will speak to
you, to your heart, to what you’re going through and this book did
just that for me.” —Chapter Ninety-Two “A heartfelt, emotional,
beautiful book of poems.” —The Pages In-Between
