Whilst I haven’t read her first collection, this makes me want to go and dive in immediately. Her writing style is so simple yet so stunning, that I wanted to highlight half of the entire book. It’s incredible to think that this is named after the age she wrote the poems at, and is even more so when you’re reading through and are struck by such powerful quotes and imagery. Nineteen is Makenzie Campbell’s second poetry collection, her first being the popular 2am Thoughts. You can feel the healing as you sit in the driver’s seat, in charge of your own life. You can feel the hope at the coffee shop where a beginning happened. You can feel the heartbreak inside the bedroom where you lost a love.
You can paint over it, but it will always be there. "In spare poems with aphoristic lines and short prose segments, the book speaks to adolescent pain and suffering.For every place we go, there is a feeling or memory that’s been painted on the walls. There is heartbreak living inside of here, but the most beautiful thing is that there is healing between these pages, too.” -Wilder, Author of Nocturnal These words will reach in your direction, they will pull you back to places you thought you had forgotten only to remind you how far you have come. A reminder to put one foot in front of the other even when it’s dark because there is always a light waiting for you in the distance.
For anyone whose emotions are tied to places, this book is for you." -Courtney Peppernell, author of Pillow Thoughts Whether you are sad and heartbroken in your bedroom, thinking about life in the shower or realising that you are ultimately in the driver’s seat of your own destiny, Makenzie’s words create a link between place and memory. It’s in these places, that we feel particular emotions, which help shape who we become. "There are defining moments in our lives that we often experience in certain places. “Campbell's newest collection serves as a necessary reminder that whatever we are feeling, we are never feeling it alone.” -Trista Mateer, author of Aphrodite Made Me Do It "In spare poems with aphoristic lines and short prose segments, the book speaks to adolescent pain and suffering."- Publishers WeeklyĬheck out Makenzie Campbell's other hit poetry book, 2am Thoughts A reminder to put one foot in front of the other even when it’s dark because there is always a light waiting for you in the distance.”- Wilder, Author of Nocturnal You can feel the healing as you sit in the driver's seat, in charge of your own life.
