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

5.0

I'm not a big poetry reader, but I knew I wanted to get my hands on this book because I love Halsey and her music. Reading this collection of poems was a neat experience, as it felt like a super intimate look into Halsey's brain. The poems touch upon topics that give greater context to the process of creating art, relationships, mental illness, sexuality, race, and life as a woman.

I loved how I could see how certain lines or elements from these poems were turned into lyrics in songs I love. There were a lot of emotions conveyed through these poems, they felt very raw and exposed. And I think I really liked that about it.
