She Must Be Mad
She Must Be Mad | Charly Cox
3 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
The powerful new collection of poetry and prose from social media's answer to Carol Ann Duffy, Charly Cox.She Must be Mad explores coming-of-age: the pain and beauty of love, the relief and the agony of turning from girl to woman, the isolation of an untethered mind and the power and subjugation of the body. Charly captures the formative experiences of today's young women from the poignant to the prosaic in writing that is at once witty, wry and heartfelt. Wayward nights out that don't go as planned; the righteous anger at those men with no talent or skill or smarts who occupy the most powerful positions in the world; the strange banality of madness and, of course, the hurt and indecision of unrequited love. For every woman surviving and thriving in today's world, for every girl who feels too much; this is a call for communion, and you are not alone.

Pickpick

Great on audio. Hearing Charly read her poems, written when ages 16-22, was a moving experience. As she struggles with anxiety and depression, being uncomfortable in her body, experiencing heartbreaks and self doubt, it felt familiar. It‘s a long time since I was her age, but I‘m not sure some of us ever lose those feelings completely. I love that she quotes “our lord savior” Britney Spears in her introduction,”I‘m not a girl, not yet a woman”💕

Cinfhen Great review 💜sounds wonderful! The ONLY rule for #Booked2020 is only one book per prompt , so you need to decide for #millennial or #ThinkPink 😘 5y
KarenUK @Cinfhen I‘m going with #thinkpink.... I‘ll use Queenie for #millenialauthor ... can still #doubledip though because it works for #pop2020 #onlywordsonthecover 👍😉 (edited) 5y
Cinfhen Yay!!! Good thinking 🎉🧡🎉🧡 5y

#bookreport
A week of two halves!
-I found Postmortem disappointing. Just not that into procedurals like I was in my twenties #pop2020 #medicalthriller
- Night Boat was a revelation! Original, gorgeous writing, gritty yet melancholy. Going to read more Barry for sure!

Next up
- a creepy audio for #booked2020
