Stuff I’ve Been Feeling Lately

Stuff I’ve Been Feeling Lately by Alicia Cook is a collection of poetry published by Andrews McMeel Publishing in 2017. This 240-page book, written in English, presents a structured exploration of the human experience, addressing themes such as life, death, love, trauma, and growth. Cook, who is a poet, journalist, and activist, crafts her work in a format reminiscent of an old-school mix-tape, offering a unique lyrical message to those who have faced addiction.

Readers will find that the book is divided into two parts: “Side A,” which delves into various aspects of the human condition, and “Side B,” featuring haunting black-out remixes of the poems from the first section. This edition invites reflection on profound subjects like grief and loss, while showcasing the voice of a contemporary woman author. Cook’s work resonates with those seeking to understand the complexities of survival and emotional resilience.
