Chloe is brave and raw, adolescence mixed with salt. These poems are about how hungry we’ve been, how foolish, how lonely. Chloe is not quite girl nor woman, full of awkward bravery. Kristina is an electric voice that pulls Chloe apart page after page, her heartbreaks, her too many drinks, her romantic experiences of pleasure and pain. Chloe and Kristina make a perfect team to form an anthem for girls everywhere, an anthem that reassures us we deserve to take up space. Indeed, when I met Chloe, I too thought “This is the closest I’ve been to anybody in months.” -- Meggie Royer, Author of Survival Songs and Healing Old Wounds with New Stitches
Chloe Kristina Haynes Books
It takes dexterity to craft a character as nuanced and simply real as Chloe. By the last page, I felt like I knew Chloe. Like I'd grown up with her. Loved her, envied her, grown frustrated with her, held her hair back at the end of a night of self-destructing. I walked away with an understanding of a person with both a propensity for tragedy and an immense capacity to love. In this piece, Kristina Haynes maintains a balance between beautiful turns of phrase and the heartbreakingly ugly truth of the twentysomething time bomb. (E.g. this line from "Chloe Stop," about Chloe's affair with her high school teacher: "Chloe, don't you think it's time you stopped romanticizing unsharpened pencils?"). While there were lines here and there so sentimental as to verge on indulgent, on the whole this is a work that reaches from the page and grabs you by the throat, forcing you to acknowledge your own similarities to Chloe. I see my own resilience in Chloe's insistence on continuing day by day. I see my own immaturity in her lack of self-control. But at the end of the day, you feel like there's hope for Chloe. Like with time and a couple glasses of wine, she'll find a way to pull her s*** together and move on to "real adulthood," if such a thing exists.Product details

Chloe Kristina Haynes Books Reviews
Brilliant!
This is the kind of book I want to live inside. It's hard-hitting and beautifully composed. Kristina's work makes it apparent that she is a poet who puts time and effort into her poems. Chloe is no exception. You can tell how carefully the book was loved before being released to others. I wish I had written this book.
Chloe, collected, is the mantra of a childless mantra. Is the mantra mistaken for what it is the giant child, the child giant, in an infancy bereft of nursery.
(from Chloe Stop 'A girl on the street saw you after and turned to say something to her mother. For just a second, you forgot where you were and looked for yours.')
This is one of the most powerfully written collection of poems I have ever read. It knocked the wind out of me more than once.
