Alexandra Naughton’s latest poetry collection SICK OF BEING INSIDE MYSELF is available now for pre-order 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
