"paper girl and the knives that made her is one of the most honest, compelling, and fierce poetry collections I've read.

And as it walks you through the many hardships of life, it will remind you how beautiful it is to be alive." – Shelby Leigh, author of changing with the tides
"Ari B. Cofer's paper girl and the knives that made her doesn't play out in a romanticized 'mirror, mirror on the wall' way, but in a cloudy-mirror way, complete with toothpaste splatter and raw honesty. At a time when everyone is traumatized on some level, this book beautifully depicts a young person's mental health journey. " – Alicia Cook, author of Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back
