I’ve always been a huge fan of Halsey so when she announced her poetry collection I pre-ordered it instantly. It was nice to see even more into her mind and her experiences. She’s raw and not perfect and she embraces that both with her openness and her writing style. I’ve seen some reviews critiquing her writing and her poetic-ness, but it wouldn’t be Halsey if they were some perfect “by the book” poems. Her lyrics in songs are like poems and her poems are like lyrics, and that’s exactly how her collection reads.
I liked all of her poems even if I couldn’t relate or “feel” it. I was proud of her for releasing Manic and I’m proud of her for releasing this and for sharing more of herself with us.
