Light Filters In: Poems

by Caroline Kaufman

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

This is one of my favorite books and I read a lot of books

Okay so I’m an avid book reader and I’ve never really liked poetry books. But this is such a good book with amazing poems about growing as a person and dealing with hard times. It has some very serious societal issues displayed in the book but they are authentic and well written about. And it has a bit of good feminism in it so overall it’s a 10/10. Plus if you like other poetry authors like Rupi Kaur and Amanda Lovelace you’ll love this book.
