This book is Angel Rosen's first collection of poems. Angel is a queer, autistic poet in her twenties who has been writing since childhood. These poems contemplate the purpose of life, death and everything in between. This will be the book for you if you find yourself wondering about how much space you take up and why other people may not understand the things about you that make you who you are. Invented from a place of grief, of curiosity, and the desire to be understood. For every girl who has felt out of place in this world, for every girl who invented her own place to be. What other people are saying... "Angel Rosen’s debut poetry book, Aurelia (2020), is a stunning collection of contemplations on gender, sexuality, mental illness, and seeking space to call home - a difficult task when one feels too large to fit in. With 35 pieces spanning nearly 60 pages, each poem serves as a piece of Rosen’s life and dreams and meditations made tangible, tinged with the wavering edges of the surreal." - Fox Auslander "Aurelia is honest, raw, and powerful. It grabs you by the shoulders, shakes you, and moves you in the best way." - A. H. "Angel Rosen's first book sears into your consciousness with the singular precision usually reserved for the business end of a sniper's blast. Daring, swift, and always beautiful, she uses her words like tools to carefully uncover bold truths, driving the human condition into the light." - H.S. "Angel Rosen’s work is some of the most gripping poetry I have ever read. Some of the most heartfelt work I have ever read, Aurelia was a beautiful debut."
