"I'm sure you could benefit from jumping on a treadmill" "Women WANT a male leader . . . It's honest to god the basic human playbook" These are some of the thousands of messages that Kate Baer has received online. Like countless other writers--particularly women--with profiles on the internet, as Kate's online presence grew, so did the darker messages crowding her inbox. These missives from strangers have ranged from "advice" and opinions to outright harassment. At first, these messages resulted in an immediate delete and block. Until, on a whim, Kate decided to transform the cruelty into art, using it to create fresh and intriguing poems. These pieces, along with ones made from notes of gratitude and love, as well as from the words of public figures, have become some of her most beloved work. I Hope This Finds You Well is drawn from those works: a book of poetry birthed in the darkness of the internet that offers light and hope. By cleverly building on the harsh negativity and hate women often receive--and combining it with heartwarming messages of support, gratitude, and connection, Kate Baer offers us a lesson in empowerment, showing how we too can turn bitterness into beauty.… (meer)

I love how she uses erasure poetry as a response, very inventive. ( )

Kate Baer slaps back at her internet trolls by finding some mic-drop responses hidden amongst the words of their own diatribes. This clever turn is called erasure poetry, though I seem to recall Mad magazine doing something similar in their pages with political statements and advertisements back when I was a kid.

Baer also tries the same trick with positive comments -- drawing out affirmations -- and from other sources to lesser success. It has the most emotional impact for me when in direct response to her haters.

Slim book, quick read. ( )

Really enjoyed seeing how she took both good and bad words and altered them into something meaningful and powerful here. I’m still fascinated by the people in the world who reach out to strangers on the internet; it’s a psychology that I truly don’t understand. ( )

Kate Baer is pure magic. This group of poems is balm to the soul. I love that she has taken articles, DMs, and other tidbits that we consume on the day to day and can weigh a person down and flipped the script to harness them into words that can empower. The blackout method of poetry is really appealing to me, as well. I think I’ll be referring back to this book across time when I need a reminder of what a phenomenal being I am, just as I am. I can’t wait to press this beautiful collection into everyone’s hands over the holidays.

*A special thank you to Harper Perennial and Paperbacks and NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this collection of poems. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and are voluntarily given* ( )

How fragile it is, the world -- I almost wrote the word but caught myself. Either one could be erased.

Around thirteen years ago I was sitting slouched over at my less-than-thrilling office job and decided to start a blog. [Author's Note]
Good morning, Kate. I have seen your posts on hoping for female leadership in the next white house an I'm concerned that gender is now your only criteria.
