A Fate Worse Than Death by Nisha Patel

hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

3.0

As a person who often gets frustrated about the things I can and can’t do because of mental illness, this book provided me reassurance how possible it is to have a beautiful life and a profound story to tell because of it. These poems scrutinize and laugh at the inconveniences that the body and the healthcare system can impose on a life. Carefully curated Medical documents, simple visual choices, and a snarky poetic voice made this a bold statement of a read. My personal favourite poems were probably the first one and the last one.
