I Thought I'd Be Over This By Now

I Thought I'd Be Over This By Now is the debut full-length poetry collection by shayne, whose work comes together to "e;disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed"e; (Cesar A. Cruz), and never presumes to land on the oft-fabled 'right answer.'As she agonizes over inherited (and infuriating) mental illness, breakups of various magnitudes, grief, and mixed race or otherwise nonbinary identity, shayne deeply reflects on how these topics play out in her own life and chooses either to uphold or upend them, granting the reader permission to do the same.A poet whose dry wit and heavy-hearted humor fills each page with longing, shayne invites readers to "e;remember to always, / always be impressed / by how well you hold your shit together, / for a woman who has let themselves go."e;
