Halsey releasing book of original poetry, ‘I Would Leave Me If I Could’
Simon & SchusterWe’ve gotten a taste of Halsey’s poetry in the lyrics to her songs, but now we’ll be getting a whole book of her poems.
Simon & Schuster announced it will be publishing the singer’s debut collection of poetry, called I Would Leave Me If I Could, on November 10, 2020.
The autobiographical poems will tackle subjects including doomed relationships, family ties, sexuality, mental illness and feminism.
“I wrote a few thousand sentences but am somehow struggling to string together a single one to summarize how excited I am about this,” Halsey tweeted. “‘I Would Leave Me If I Could,’ my first collection of poetry, is available for pre-order now.”
“Poetry infuses everything Halsey does—from music to painting and performing—so it’s hardly a surprise she’s so gifted with verse,” Stephanie Frerich, Executive Editor at Simon & Schuster, says in a statement. “We were immediately captivated by her poems the way millions are by her music.”
The book’s cover art features Halsey’s original painting, “American Woman.” Halsey will also voice the audio book.
