Is This Scary?: Poems by Jacob Scheier

2.0

Okay, honestly I am unsure of how to feel after reading this book. I liked the interwoven aspects of how the speaker was talking to someone but felt that I had a hard time connecting with half of the poems simply for the fact that the writing felt borderline pretentious in some parts. I do appreciate how it is breaking the stigma around mental illness and can allow people to see their struggles represented in poetry. Overall I most likely will not be picking this up again but can see others enjoying it.
overall ⭐️⭐️
