Ellie White

Combining poetry and memoir in a way that feels organic, "and for too long after" tells the story of a narrator in her late twenties coming to terms with a tumultuous past and recent hospitalization for suicidal ideation. Though many of the poems are dark, the prose sections convey determination, strength, and a sharp sense of humor as she stumbles through a DIY healing process featuring gray hairs, amateur mountain climbing, and BDSM. Honest and visceral, "and for too long after" is a reckoning.
