Em Eldridge narrates Makenzie Campbell’s raw and poignant poetry collection, which reveals exceptional vulnerability and is deeply cathartic. Written in a contemporary style that is honest and forthright, the poems unapologetically expose intense emotional themes that confront listeners on a visceral level. Eldridge has a pleasant tonality, but her performance maintains a cadence that sounds detached from the sentiments of the material. The poems in this collection are devastating and beautiful, conveying the darkness and light, love and hate, grief and grace that are universal. Although Eldridge’s narration doesn’t elevate the listening experience, this wondrous poetry collection is worthy of high praise. M.M.W. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
From the Publisher
"Rooms of the Mind is an adventure. It takes you through all the highs and lows of life; from the abyss of heartbreak and sadness, to the soaring sensation of finding love and hope again. Campbell has crafted a stunning and captivating read, and I'd recommend this collection to anyone who has ever needed to hear that they are not alone." – Catarine Hancock, author of shades of lovers and sometimes i fall asleep thinking about you
"Rooms of the Mind is Campbell’s most vulnerable collection yet. It highlights the various, universal emotions one may experience in their life. It shines light on all the broken yet beautiful parts of us we feel so intensely. I walked out of this collection with reassurance and hope. That I am exactly where I need to be and that it is okay to feel every intense feeling that life and love bestow. It’s what creates resilience." – Zane Frederick, author of i am tired of being a dandelion
“Rooms of the Mind by Makenzie Campbell is a highly relatable look into the spectrum of human emotion, and how we compartmentalize our own feelings. Take a moment to peer behind each door, and you’ll be sure to find a piece of yourself on the other side!" – Parker Lee, author of coffee days whiskey nights
