Strange Places: A Journey in Poetry

"I pull my energy from strange places."

In this collection of soul-bearing, heart-wrenching poetry, Katie Giletto invites you on a journey through addiction, rock bottoms, and recovery. The purposefully juxtaposed words shed light on the realities of what it's like to live with schizophrenia and through mental, physical, and spiritual highs and lows-realities that have shaped her life and her poetry.

If you love someone who is wandering down dark paths into unfamiliar or even dangerous territory, these words may give you insight into what's driving them.

And if you are the one who finds yourself in strange places, rest assured, you aren't alone.

From the author:

Most of the time, I have to remind myself that just because things are hard doesn't mean I can't do them. Sometimes it's hard to go where you need to. Especially when where you need to go seems unattainable. . . .

Don't be afraid of the strange places you find yourself in. Because even there, hope will well up in the cracks.
