Halsey
Grammy Award–nominated, platinum-selling musician Halsey is heralded as one of the most compelling voices of her generation. In I Would Leave Me If I Could, she reveals never-before-seen poetry of longing, love, and the nuances of bipolar disorder. In this debut collection, Halsey bares her soul. Bringing the same artistry found in her lyrics, Halsey’s poems delve into the highs and lows of doomed relationships, family ties, sexuality, and mental illness. More hand grenades than confessions, these autobiographical poems explore and dismantle conventional notions of what it means to be a feminist in search of power. Masterful as it is raw, passionate, and profound, I Would Leave Me If I Could signals the arrival of an essential voice. Book cover painting, American Woman, by the author. Halsey, born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and recipient of the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Hal David Starlight Award. She lives in Los Angeles, California.

"Best poetry I’ve ever read."

"Halsey is always so authentic and heartfelt. Their words reach into my soul."

"I think halseys work as a poet holds up on it's own outside of her music. She isn't just using it as a cash grab to profit off of her fame, i think this is something she is truly passionate about. She uses rhyme often, which is rare in contemporary poetry, but she pulls it off and i think is strongly tied to her musical background. If you are a fan of her music, you will most likely enjoy it. Though some might find it unrelatable, it isn't completely out of touch."

"6/10 I liked it, but very very few poems can you actually relate too, it's allot about flying, money, sex and traveling all over the world. "
