Paperback. Queer poet Rhys Harding makes their debut with 'i am so tired of feeling this way.', a collection of raw, touching, and often heart-rending autobiographical writing. Harding's stark poetry has no interest in pulling punches, favouring honesty over traditional beauty every time. It's this approach - pairing difficult topics with clean, accessible formatting - that sees Harding's work stand out from their peers.Love, longing, and mental illness are the core themes that thread their way throughout 'i am so tired of feeling this way.' Hauntingly beautiful imagery of space and bodies fleshes out into compelling metaphor, before spilling over into barely contained grotesquery. The oblique silhouettes of landscapes, the weather, elements, and injury weave themselves into characters of their own, breathing life into the minimal scaffolding of Harding's free verse.Throughout this collection Harding holds their own experiences as a mirror to the readers', forcing them to confront their own realities free of any rose tinting. Fear and hope jostle shoulders as they take your hand, guiding your eyes toward the horizon of an alluring oblivion. Anyone who has loved and lost will feel Harding's words creep under their skin and make a home there: be they a vehicle for that keen agony, that soft touch, or simply a gentle voice of commiseration. With illustrations by rising artist Kay Wilson, 'i am so tired of feeling this way.' is an anthology made by queer people, for queer people. Whether Harding's words unsettle or provide solace to you, this new talent makes it clear that even the ugliest of emotions can crystallise into something ripe with undeniable beauty.
