We need something light, something lovely and beautiful.
New by Nicolette Elzie is BabyDoll. Get wrapped in BabyDoll’s journey in this book of connected poetry.
Grandma’s Last Secret is a tender story of a granddaughter who crosses the country at her Grandmother’s behest to grant her dying wish.
The REaDLips family welcomes Nicolette Elzie with her book of poetry BabyDoll
Babydoll is a beauty queen with a dark secret hiding behind her designer shades. She’s lost the will to live. Scared of her own thoughts, Babydoll embarks on a journey of self-discovery. But depression and suicide ideation will stop at nothing until they destroy her. Her very life is on the line and Babydoll will have to claw her way out of the darkness if she wants to live.
Inspired by Terrance Hayes’ Hip Logic with tributes to the legendary Sylvia Plath and Coco Chanel, this deeply tender confessional volume of poetry explores themes of mental health, tragic romance, glamour, and melancholia.
We have every confidence, you’ll love BabyDoll.
