Description

In the vein of poetry collections like Milk and Honey and Adultolescence, this compilation of short, powerful poems from teen Instagram sensation @poeticpoison perfectly captures the human experience.

In Light Filters In, Caroline Kaufman - known as @poeticpoison - does what she does best: reflects our own experiences back at us and makes us feel less alone, one exquisite and insightful piece at a time. She writes about giving up too much of yourself to someone else, not fitting in, endlessly Googling “how to be happy”, and ultimately figuring out who you are.

This collection features completely new material, plus some fan favorites from Caroline's account. Light Filters In will thrill existing fans and newcomers alike.

it’s okay if some things

are always out of reach.

if you could carry all the stars

in the palm of your hand,

they wouldn’t be

half as breathtaking

Similar to other authors but with unique writing

Stylistically, I feel that this collection was reminiscent of poets such as Amanda Lovelace and Rupi Kaur, so fans of their work would almost certainly enjoy this - it has this great knack of getting difficult emotions across without wrapping them up in a bow. However, something different about this poet is her use of rhyme, something which is becoming obsolete in the realms of modern poetry. I found this interesting, because rhyme isn't utilised often in much of the poetry I've read recently. There were many occasions when a rhyme felt clunky, or the rhythm was a little off. It could be jarring at times; if you'd read certain poems aloud, you'd definitely notice it. But she's so young she can only get better and be even more her own writer. I also understand why as this started as private journals, a big part of it still looks and sounds like that. The poetry in this book did make me think about my history and life lessons as I sat there and read it.

The happiness
will come slowly,
the way light filters in
through the window
in the early morning hours.
so slowly
you don’t even notice
the night is ending,
until you wake up
and see the sunlight
