About the Book
"Written between July 2018 and February 2020."Book Synopsis
Sorry I haven't texted you back, (I've been so anxious and depressed) I haven't had time to catch my breath, you know how life gets! Returning to the form of Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately, Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back is a poetic mixtape dedicated to those who struggle or have struggled with their mental health. Divided into two parts, "Side A" holds 92 poems, titled as "tracks," and "Side B" holds the "remixes," or blackout-poetry versions, of those 92 poems. The book includes the evergreen themes of love, grief, and hope. Named after Cook's viral Instagram poem, Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back lands in the crossroads of self-help and poetry.About the Author
Alicia Cook is a multi-award-winning writer and mental health and addiction awareness advocate based in Newark, New Jersey. Her writing often focuses on addiction, mental health, and grief - sometimes all at once. She is the poet behind Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately, I Hope My Voice Doesn't Skip, Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back, and The Music Was Just Getting Good. Cook's advocacy began years ago following the fatal overdose of her 19-year-old cousin. Through her writing, she started shedding light on how drug addiction impacts the mental health of families. An essayist and speaker, her activism to fight the opioid epidemic is far-reaching and has garnered a worldwide readership. She has her own episode on the Emmy-nominated American PBS series Here's the Story. She has since broadened the scope of her work to include other sensitive topics impacting our lives today. She was the recipient of 2017's Everyday Hero award from NJTV and 2018's Women with Voices award from the Women with Voices Foundation. She was named a 2019 Healthcare Hero finalist by NJBiz. Her songwriting has been recognized by American Songwriter Magazine (4x honorable mention). Her alma mater, Georgian Court University, named her its 2020 Distinguished Alumni of the Year, and she was a Commencement Speaker at Georgian Court's 2021 commencement. She was awarded a "40 Under 40" award from the Irish Echo in 2022. That same year, she spoke on the topic of Mental Health at Oxford University.Dimensions (Overall): 7.9 Inches (H) x 5.0 Inches (W) x .8 Inches (D)
