I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection Of Poetry

Grammy-nominated and known for her platinum-selling records, Halsey stands out as a defining voice of her era. In her debut poetry collection, "I Would Leave Me If I Could," she unveils an array of previously unseen poems that convey feelings of desire, love, and the complexity of living with bipolar disorder. Halsey opens up about her personal experiences with the same creativity that characterizes her music, diving deeply into the tumultuous world of troubled romances, familial bonds, sexuality, and mental health issues. These poems, which are more like explosive revelations than simple admissions, challenge traditional feminist perspectives on seeking empowerment. Both unrefined and deeply moving, "I Would Leave Me If I Could" marks the emergence of an indispensable voice in contemporary literature. The book's cover features the painting "American Woman," also created by Halsey. Born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, she is a Grammy-nominated artist honored with the Songwriters Hall of Fame's Hal David Starlight Award. Halsey currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
