OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE: April 15, 2021

In THE BOOK OF LIKES, poet Heather Sweeney takes on social media and self-portrayal through Instagram-sized poems that are as beautiful, unhinged, and filled with ennui as the experience of being on the internet today. These poems will make you laugh, gasp, and leave you feeling #seen in the most uncomfortable and important of ways. This collection is a literary salute to what it feels like to be alive in our age of persona-crafting desperation.

Heather Sweeney, she/her, lives in San Diego where she writes, teaches and does visual art. Her chapbooks include Just Let Me Have This (Selcouth Station Press) and Same Bitch, Different Era: The Real Housewives Poems (above/ground press). She is also the author of the collections, Dear Marshall, Language is Our Only Wilderness (Spuyten Duyvil Press) and Call Me California (Finishing Line Press). Her work has appeared in Bombay Gin, Harbor Review, The Hunger, Terrible Orange, The Velvet Giant, Pidgeonholes, Occulum, and more. You can find her at www.heathercsweeney.com
