Get Over Yourself by poet Leanne Moden is an intricate look into the personas we wear in life. Those we layer on to help us feel safe and protected and those painted on us by society.
This book doesn’t just explore the ways in which we amend ourselves, it explosively sheds these skins and celebrates the you beneath it all. Through joy and heartache this book is a journey of true self-discovery.
It makes me want to dive into who I am, what I want, what I cherish and live without restriction. This is an empowering book that I wish I had read ten years ago! Full of stunning quotes that remind you to be you, unapologetically so.
‘I am not beautiful, but I am powerful.
I am powerful and that is beautiful.’
Leanne Moden weaves in beautiful details that delicately stir your memory. Leaving you with a sense of time and place, as if you are stood with her, in her stories, feeling everything she is feeling. Reading this book is a shared, universal, experience of the hard knocks and small wins of growing up.
It’s a beautiful wildfire of passion, pain and truth, with one clear message: Be yourself.
A love letter to our younger selves to live wild and most importantly, to live free.
Blurb: ‘Get Over Yourself is a collection about transformation and self-acceptance, grief and sex, rebellion and conformity, belonging and self-discovery. Using humour, spoken word and storytelling these poems take readers from the political to the intensely personal, and back again. This collection will speak to anyone who has ever been through the painful and beautiful process of growing up.’
