In the vein of poetry collections like Milk and Honey and Adultolescence, this compilation of short, powerful poems from teen Instagram sensation @poeticpoison perfectly captures the human experience.
In Light Filters In, Caroline Kaufman--known as @poeticpoison--does what she does best: reflects our own experiences back at us and makes us feel less alone, one exquisite and insightful piece at a time. She writes about giving up too much of yourself to someone else, not fitting in, endlessly Googling how to be happy, and ultimately figuring out who you are.
This hardcover collection features completely new material plus some fan favorites from Caroline's account. Filled with haunting, spare pieces of original art, Light Filters In will thrill existing fans and newcomers alike.

Another Triumph from @PoeticPoison
Derived From Web , Apr 6, 2021
This book is another triumph of @PoeticPoison and is well-written and inspiring, and inspirational. It is not my favorite poetry novel, but it is still great in it's own way. Kudos to Caroline Kaufman and praise for her!

i read this book within a few minutes and held close to heart every second of it. It is incredible to hear that someone else has gone through so much and to be able to relate to someone else's words. This author is an incredible woman and I would recommend it to all girls at my age to know that they are not alone.

Perfect Young Adult Poem Book
Derived From Web , Nov 28, 2018
This is perfect for a teenager or a young adult who is still trying to figure out who they are. References mental health, happiness, sadness, romance... basically everything an angsty teen thinks about. My sister bought this for my sister because she is 15 and in this age group. Compares with Rupi Kaur and Honey Hybrids.

Beautiful Imagery! Thought Provoking!
Derived From Web , Aug 15, 2018
I found the story contained within these poems striking, reminiscent of many teenager's struggles with identity, self-love, and facing internal and outer demons. The author's voice extends well beyond her years, as she articulates dark subject matter very well! Probably my favorite poem in this collection is the one with the analogy of Yarn and Pink & Blue, so powerful and so amazingly written!
