Trigger warnings are quoted below: I talk about mental illness, self-harm, suicide, recovery, sexual assault, abusive relationships, violence, and other issues that may not be the easiest to swallow. Caroline Kaufman is probably better known so far by her Instagram profile poeticpoison.

Published while still a teenager, this book is a mixture of dark and light, heartache and hope. Poetry can be very hit and miss for me and I found that to be the case with this collection as well.

I con Trigger warnings are quoted below: I talk about mental illness, self-harm, suicide, recovery, sexual assault, abusive relationships, violence, and other issues that may not be the easiest to swallow. This book is divided into four sections: the darkness falls , the night persists , the dawn breaks , and the sun rises. What I loved above all else is the honesty of these poems.

It bugs me whenever I see it and for some reason that baffles me it seems to be a cool thing to do these days. I probably would have been when I was a teenager but a lot of the writing felt very young and rightly so as the author is only I hope that Caroline continues to write from her heart as the authenticity of her voice has the potential to impact a lot of young lives.

Feb 03, Krista Regester rated it liked it. We are not blaming this person when we talk about how they died.

Suicide is often the consequence of a mental health crisis — and should be regarded in the same way as a physical health condition. When we carry stigma in our language we push others away from feeling comfortable asking for help.

If you are dedicating a page in your book to those who have died by suicide, keep this in mind. Jun 25, Jessica C Writes rated it really liked it Shelves: poetry. This book was really well written. I felt the emotions in each poem, and I really enjoyed the metaphors. Great read, but there are some trigger warnings to keep in mind: sexual assault, self harm, violence. Jul 25, Helen rated it liked it. I have great respect to Caroline Kaufman for being able to put herself out there so unreservedly - if I could describe this in one word it would be 'brave.

There were also some great one-off lines which I feel had a lot of impact, and worked fantastically. Stylistically, I feel that this collection was reminiscent of poets such as Amanda Lovelace and Rupi Kaur, so fans of their work would almost certainly enjoy this - it has this great knack of getting difficult emotions across without wrapping them up in a bow.

However, something different about this poet is her use of rhyme, something which is becoming obsolete in the realms of modern poetry. I found this interesting, because as I said, rhyme isn't utilised often in much of the poetry I've read recently - however, I personally felt it could have been done a little better.

There were many occasions when a rhyme felt clunky, or the rhythm was a little off. It could be jarring at times; if you'd read certain poems aloud, you'd definitely notice it. However, there are also some occasions where I cringed a little - in all honesty, rhyming poetry just isn't my thing, though I can respect the times when this poet makes it work for her.

I don't want to sound condescending, but Caroline is a young writer and I feel like that does show in some of her poems. There's a sense of immaturity to some of them, but some of her words are so powerful and her emotions are so strong - I don't doubt that she's going to keep growing as a writer and improving massively, and she definitely has a lot of worthwhile things to say.

Caroline's words have made many people feel as though they aren't alone, and I appreciate her bravery in sharing these words with the world. I feel as though young teens in particular will be inspired by her words and by seeing someone so young achieving such great success. This book wasn't entirely for me, but I still think it has value and will be helpful to a lot of people.

May 21, Alicia Cook rated it it was amazing. Strong debut by this young author. Full review to come following release. Thank you to Harper for providing me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. Mar 12, Kaylee D rated it liked it. This book made me want to not listen to what everyone says.

It is motivational but once again is telling a story that many people will not talk about. She talks about her journey and how she really struggled and that it was ok not to be ok all the time. I found that this book was kind of the same as all the others that I read. I found it hard to keep reading it because I was kind of not into it. I think it's a good book I had just read to many books like this that all have the same purpose but i This book made me want to not listen to what everyone says.

I think it's a good book I had just read to many books like this that all have the same purpose but it's an important purpose. View all 3 comments. Apr 01, Grace rated it really liked it. As much as this was a hard collection for the poet to write, this was definitely a hard one to read. Yet it was all so important. Before picking this book up, there are multiple triggers such as self-harm, suicide, anxiety, depression etc and may I warn you that it is a raw take.

If you are able to brave it, I would definitely recommend this as it was worth the read. The art in between is just amazing. This collection talks about identify, abuse, acceptance, mental health depression, anxiety, suicide, self-harm , childhood and innocence, writing and poetry. It's so personal. I can feel you and understand you. Even more so considering the author's age.

What an inspiration to young writers as well as anyone but especially teens going through life's hardships. Jan 17, Elvina Zafril rated it liked it.

Updated Review This book is about mental illness, self-harm, suicide, recovery, sexual assault, abusive relationships, violence and some other issues related. The writing was good though I feel some of the poems kind of repetitive. All the poems are easy to understand. I liked few of the poems that I can relate to for example depression. Some of the poems made me feel sad because somehow I felt it related to me. At least one Updated Review This book is about mental illness, self-harm, suicide, recovery, sexual assault, abusive relationships, violence and some other issues related.

At least one of them is. Its not easy to find out who you really are. Its not easy to keep moving on. One of the poems that I really liked: earth; I burn and smoke to keep others warm, forgetting that I need to breath. I carry a first-aid kit wherever I go, forgetting that I need to heal. I give out love to all who will take it, forgetting that I need some for myself. Aug 25, maya rated it it was amazing. Light Filters In: Poems is such an incredibly powerful book of poems.

I love this book so deeply and highly recommend it to anyone. View 2 comments. Jul 31, Cyndi rated it really liked it. There are a lot of trigger warnings in these poems.

The author opened up her heart and bled out in her words. It was brave and so very sad. I am not really one to read poetry, but I admire it so much. To be able to put all your emotion into just a few words is a gift. These poems are tragically beautiful. Cancel Delete. Cancel Overwrite Save. Don't wait! Try Yumpu. Start using Yumpu now!
