Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Grammy Award–nominated, platinum-selling musician Halsey is heralded as one of the most compelling voices of her generation. In I Would Leave Me If I Could, she reveals never-before-seen poetry of longing, love, and the nuances of bipolar disorder.

In this debut collection, Halsey bares her soul. Bringing the same artistry found in her lyrics, Halsey’s poems delve into the highs and lows of doomed relationships, family ties, sexuality, and mental illness. More hand grenades than confessions, these autobiographical poems explore and dismantle conventional notions of what it means to be a feminist in search of power.

Masterful as it is raw, passionate, and profound, I Would Leave Me If I Could signals the arrival of an essential voice.

    So I started this book tonight and just couldn’t put it down till I finished it! Ashley, you’re irreplaceable. Imagery in this poetry is incredible. Got lost in this book so much that the world just got kind of quiet. This kind of talent is rare. You can’t teach the talent Ashley has with lyrics and writing —
  • Amazing Work from One So Young!

    Wow really good raw poetry. By “raw” I don’t mean coarsely written. Reminds me of a writer in the 00’s I called “the “LA Correspondent”. She said, “I do all these things so you don’t have to.” Thank God if you don’t have to. Gonna go giver her a listen!
  • Highly recommend!!

    I’ve been a halsey fan for almost five years and i’ve always loved her poetry. It was something special real fans knew about and i’ve always wanted her to publish them because they were truly great. I was ecstatic when she announced this book and couldn’t wait to read more of her work. Every poem captivates you and reveals such personal and special stories. I’m honored to be a fan she’s shared these stories with. Even if you’re not a fan of her music or have ever heard a song, I think anyone would enjoy getting to know her from her poetry. Halsey is a truly amazing writer at her core.
