It came out on March 17 via Youniverse Publishing, and it is comprised of 104 pages. Posner did a brilliant job writing the poems, as well as doing the drawing. Sean Hagwell was able to paint a vivid picture thanks to his exceptional photography. The singer-songwriter did not hold anything back on this honest book of poetry, and it helps us learn more about the musician on a more intimate level. It covers a wide range of topics including sex, love, death, drugs, insecurity, fame and even hate mail, in the form of mean tweets. It is raw, authentic and unflinching; moreover, it allows Posner to share his viewpoint with the rest of the world. It is a must for any Mike Posner or poetry fan, and it garners an A rating.
Digital Journal chatted with Mike Posner about his new book of poetry, and “I Took a Pill in Ibiza,” which earned him a 2017 Grammy nomination for “Song of the Year.”
