Alexandra Naughton’s latest poetry collection SICK OF BEING INSIDE MYSELF is available now from House of Vlad Press!
“Alexandra Naughton’s SICK OF BEING INSIDE MYSELF is an ode to feminine apocalypse—an earth-shattering realization that we are always living and dying—where receipts are tokens, TV is church, and poems are for everyone, this collection is a spectacle where the speaker is enamored by what the reader has.”
- Carson Jordan, author of Good for Her
"What does the self even mean? Alexandra repeatedly asks this question because we all troll ourselves; she’s smart enough to recognize it. The honesty we portray ourselves as flummoxed by the glimmer of the online and mindless media consumption, like the ambience of a family now replaced by the hit of Netflix, of rewatching Dexter and The Sopranos, comfort foods for the mind. Her question of “Am I shadow banned, or am I just not that interesting?” hits like a ton of bricks. Even now, that question still hurts, as the online has become the real and the offline the unreal.”
- Beach Sloth, writer of Mark’s My Friend and It Doesn't Matter What You Look Like On The Outside It's What's On The Internet That Counts
