In “Small Ghost” by Trista Mateer, she reveals her raw, open, bleeding heart through her poetic and profound words. Through her poetry, you can feel her intense sadness and pain that’s experienced through depression and the isolation found in anxiety.

I was not prepared for the emotions I felt with a few of the poems that I found myself connecting with. Many of the others left me sad and empathic for the author’s suffering. However, I think I understand the meaning behind Mateer's “Small Ghost.” Depression and anxiety are not seen by others, but they are there following us around, like a small ghost, frightening us at times or showing up when we least expect it. And the ghost images throughout the book are wonderful!

Thank you, #NetGalley, #TristaMateer, and #CentralAvenuePublishing, for the ARC in exchange for my honest review of #SmallGhost.
