Criticism About Books Depression & Other Magic Tricks

I'm reviewing this book provided by NetGalley.Poetry, poetry, poetry. Oh, how complex, beautiful, and incredibly personal and public it can be. I'm a huge fan of poetry, from Rumi to Langston Hughes, Marie de France to Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemmingway to Lang Leav, and all the new, emerging poets. Everyone has a different taste in poetry, and for me, it varies. I love poems so nuanced that they suspend me in a state of infinite profundity. I love topics that discuss mental health, trauma,

This collection hit me hard, in the best way possible. I didn't realize I had actually seen this poetess perform online before until I read one poem that seemed so familiar. This collection centers mainly on the author's depression and anxiety. The free verse demonstrates this constant struggle beautifully. I could easily relate to a great majority of the poems as someone who deals with these illnesses herself.

well I cried a lot

I won't pretend to know a hoot about poetry, but this is a wonderful collection. Easily one of the best books I've read this year. I loved the poet's way with words.There are times when you feel something but don't know how to express it. You may not know how to explain your thoughts to others because you can't find the right words or the closest metaphor. Sabrina Benaim nails such emotions and views with beautiful imagery.Sometimes, you may be confused about your own feelings and books can help

You might know Sabrina Benaim from her reading of "explaining my depression to my mother: a conversation", a video of which went viral this past spring. That poem is haunting, read with such passion that you can't help but be affected by it. The words are beautiful, honest and raw, but the reading is ground-shattering, tearful and anxious, on the verge of a collapse that brings out your best, empathetic self. Benaim's spoken word expertise adds an element that I feared I would miss in reading

I was eager to read this collection ever since I've heard her perform "Explaining Depression to my Mother" which i've found while scrolling down youtube.However , and unfortunately , it didn't meet my high expectations at all. To be honest, I didn't like any of the poems in this collection except that one.I expected to read poems about depression, but the collection was rather on her love life failures .I don't know if it is just me , but is this really poetry? i get it that nowadays modern

This was really well written but I'm a little torn on it. Some poems were beautiful (especially the ones on mental health) but some were just okay so it's hard to rate as a whole. "mom says where did the anxiety come from? anxiety is the cousin visiting from out of town depression felt obligated to bring to the party. mom i am the party. only i am the party i don't want to be at.""if i am late it is because i was too anxious to leave"
