Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately

Description

In Alicia Cook’s second poetic effort, designed in the style of an old
mixtape, she sets her thoughts to a nostalgic tune. There is no Table of
Contents. Instead, there is a “Track List,” making it easy to refer to them to
your friends with a, “Hey did you read track seven?!” There are no chapters.
Instead, the book is divided into two parts, or as one would say in the 90’s,
two “sides.” Side A holds poetry that touches on all aspects of the human
condition like life, death, love, moving on, evolving, growing up, hometowns,
family dynamic, life after trauma, and make-ups and breakups. Side B holds the
“remixes” of these poems, in the form of blackout poetry, also known as “found
poetry.” Side B gives the material a fresh twist by creating new poetry out of
Side A. There is also a very special surprise at the end of each track. Alicia
decided to self publish this effort after leaving her publishing house. She
views this book as her “independence” and official separation from that
venture. She also drew the front and back cover herself. Alicia is a
contributing writer for many blogs and news outlets, including the Huffington
Post and multiple Gannett Publications. She writes regularly on drug addiction
and how it directly affects families. Because of this, she has chosen to
donate 100% of royalties to the Willow Tree Center in New Jersey.
