"In her second book of poetry, Instagram sensation Caroline Kaufman{u2014}known as @poeticpoison{u2014}explores the shock, wonder, and beauty of an uncertain future. When the World Didn{u2019}t End is a vivid account of trying to find a path forward while reckoning with the pain of the past, embracing imperfection, and unlearning the language of self-criticism. It{u2019}s an ode to the awkward silence between goodbye and hanging up, to hearts that continue to beat after they{u2019}re broken, to the empty spaces that depression leaves behind. With vulnerability and insight, this powerful collection of short poems holds up a mirror to the doubt and longing inside us all."--Amazon.com. (less)
