    About this ebook

    Sorry I haven’t texted you back, (I’ve been so anxious and depressed) I haven’t had time to catch my breath, you know how life gets!
    Returning to the form of Stuff I’ve Been Feeling Lately, Sorry I Haven’t Texted You Back is a poetic mixtape dedicated to those who struggle or have struggled with their mental health. Divided into two parts, “Side A” holds 92 poems, titled as “tracks,” and “Side B” holds the “remixes,” or blackout-poetry versions, of  those 92 poems. The book includes the evergreen themes of love, grief, and hope. Named after Cook’s viral Instagram poem, Sorry I Haven’t Texted You Back lands in the crossroads of self-help and poetry.

      Jun 20, 2018

      It’s summer, which means it’s time for a new playlist. Instead of seeking out new music, I decided instead to play through the songs in my current music library, combing for old or undiscovered gems. If you’re like me, you’ve accumulated music over t

      The poems were great at first, but they started dragging on in the middle and towards the end. But I think it's a nice book. And I love the song recommendations at the end of each poem.
    • 4/5
      Intriguingly beautiful!! Truly a "read between the lines" kind of book.
    • 4/5
      Most of the poems were really beautiful, it is a good book.
