Harvard Book Store welcomes Instagram poet sensation and Harvard sophomore CAROLINE KAUFMAN—aka @poeticpoison—for a discussion of her new collection, When the World Didn’t End.
About When the World Didn’t End
When the World Didn’t End is a vivid account of trying to find a path forward while reckoning with the pain of the past, embracing imperfection, and unlearning the language of self-criticism.
It’s an ode to the awkward silence between goodbye and hanging up, to hearts that continue to beat after they’re broken, to the empty spaces that depression leaves behind. With vulnerability and insight, this powerful collection of short poems holds up a mirror to the doubt and longing inside us all.
This hardcover collection features completely new material plus some fan favorites from Caroline’s account. Filled with haunting, spare pieces of original art, When the World Didn’t Endwill thrill existing fans and newcomers alike.
