I AM BARELY HOLDING IT TOGETHER
but, miraculously, i'm whole. and i don't know what
this says about the nonlinear nature of growth or
whether i'm doing a good job at maintaining
the world i've cultivated despite mental illness
but maybe not everything needs to mean something.
maybe i can have days where
I AM BARELY HOLDING IT TOGETHER
and focus on the fact that still, still,
I AM HOLDING IT TOGETHER.
While the collection itself may be on grief, the book itself doesn’t give you any. While I wasn’t a huge fan of the illustrations, Caitlin Conlon's collection itself had some really interesting pieces that show that the writer has potential.
Thank you, NetGalley for the chance to read and review this ARC!
