"Look Up" by Rachel Havekost

$18.95

"Look Up" is a poetry collection and set of short love notes organized as a map — not a how-to, not a workbook, not a guide with steps. A hand to hold while you find your own way through. It is divided into seven sections, each named for a stage of the journey and written with a specific reading instruction so you can find exactly where you are.

The central promise of this book — its real argument — is a single sentence: This is not who you are. It's something you're going through. That distinction, between an identity and an experience, between what you are and what is happening to you, is what Havekost has dedicated her work to communicating. It is a clinically informed idea delivered with the warmth and plainness of someone who has needed it herself.
