I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry by Halsey
5.0
I don't know much about poetry and though I'm an avid reader, I'll admit I only picked this up because Halsey wrote it.
With that said, I really loved the intimate picture this gave me of a person I've only seen from afar. This poetry felt rough and chaotic, which felt true to who Halsey is (or how she sees herself/how she wishes to be portrayed in a public manner). I loved the interweaving of songs that have been released, and fragments of what would be released in albums after this book was published. Her poetry felt rhythmic and though it's all meant to be spoken word, it still felt musical at times.
I enjoyed this collection. I think Halseys capacity to create art across several mediums is exceptional and this collection further proves that.
