Pick Apart My Brain and You Will Find

by Madeleine Misner

Overview

Horny, hopeful, depressed, and longing for love. These states of being make up the characteristics of the emotional young adult woman in her 20's. Pick Apart My Brain and You Will Find acts as a collection of poems ranging from utterly confessional to quietly blunt. The raw thoughts expressed in each stanza include the swaying everyday mentalities of one's early 20's, trying to navigate and align who we are with who we want to become.
