Katie Wismer

If you are underwhelmed by me, please just let me go...Poems for the End of the World is a coming of age collection and exploration of the confusing and disillusioning trek through young adulthood in a broken world. Divided into four chapters-waking up, growing pains, crushing realities, and disappointing beginnings-this collection covers everything from self-discovery and heartbreak to chronic illness and fresh starts.

I thought this was really good!

I have been watching the author's youtube channel for about half a year and decided to try some of her poetry. This is one of my favorite poetry collections that I have ever read. It might even be my favorite. I definitely want to read her other collection and any she puts out later.

CW: sexual assault, rape mention, alcohol use

Poems for the End of the World is Katie Wismer's second poetry collection and it is just as amazing and heart wrenching as The Sweetest Kind of Poison. I related to many of the poems, having been sexually assaulted myself, and wish we lived in a world where grief and pain can be expressed and not hidden. 

Poems for the End of the World also reads like Amanda Lovelace's poetry, and is easy to follow as well as understand. If you want poetry that speaks to you, definitely pick up Poems for the End of the World!

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for a review.
