"Sabrina Benaim has connected deeply with readers and reached millions of viewers through her poetry, breaking down the stigma around mental illness. Now, in seventy-five original poems, she dives into emotional, relatable territory: grief over a relationship's end, loneliness in a world under lockdown, and the anxiety of caring for a loved one from afar in the wake of a serious illness"--Page 4 of cover.
