She Must Be Mad by Charly Cox
4.0
A new poetry collection from Charly Cox, ‘She Must Be Mad’ is a collection of honest and captivating poems that you won’t be able to stop reading.
In two parts, one part love, one part mind, ‘She Must Be Mad’ keeps it real throughout as these words make an impact using a range of different poetry styles that make for such great reading. Poems such as ‘All I Wanted Was Some Toast’ in particular is a true reflection of the impact of depression on your life and I saw myself uncomfortably in words such as this and that’s a rare and great thing.
The diversity of emotions in this books from love, heartbreak and anger blend together beautifully next to one another. Poems such as ‘Trump’ are visceral and easy to like whereas poems such as such as ‘Love Part 2′ just strike you with honesty and that rawness of emotion that just makes for a poem that’s difficult to shake off.
A book that grows up as it goes on, ‘She Must Be Mad’ is a brilliant and thought-provoking collection.
