Maladaptive Daydreams

By: Coe Colette

Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

Maladaptive Daydreams, the debut poetry chapbook from non-binary, queer writer, musician, and artist Coe Colette, delivers a visceral punch to the gut as it confronts societal taboos and dismantles facades with unyielding honesty. Through gritty imagery and piercing prose, this collection fearlessly explores themes of loneliness, love, longing, and loss, defiantly shouting "FUCK YOU" to their demons in defiance of societal norms and expectations.

Renowned musician, artist, and author Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu hails Maladaptive Daydreams as "an extraordinarily deep and frank exploration of the complications, burdens, and incisions of abuse, food, social politics, home, and sexuality.
