Dandelion
Dandelion | Gabbie Hanna
1 post | 5 read | 1 to read
New York Times bestselling author Gabbie Hanna delivers everything from curious musings to gut-wrenching confessionals in her long-awaited sophomore collection of illustrated poetry. In this visually thrilling installment of the inner-workings of Gabbie's mind, we're taken on a journey of self-loathing, self-reflection, and ultimately, self-acceptance through deeply metaphorical imagery, chilling twists on child-like rhymes, and popular turns of phrase turned on their heads. Through raw, provocative tidbits, Dandelion explores what it means to struggle with a declining mental health in a world where mental health is both stigmatised and trivialised. The poems range from topics of rage and despair to downright silliness, so if you don't know whether to laugh or cry, just laugh until you cry. Exclusive bonus content: a collection of uncomfortably honest personal essays about Gabbie's childhood and relationships.

Mehso-so

I was curious about this book and hopeful about its content, but it turned out to be a disappointment. The problem with Gabbie Hanna seems to be that she does not develop her ideas enough, so many of her poems are closer to thoughts than they are to actual poetry. She could use the same lines at the start or at the end of a poem and create something interesting, but she doesn‘t seem motivated to do so. Some poems were good, but not enough of them.
