Catching Narcissus is a collection of poems which form a smooth, yet unsettling, reflection of the critical loathing and lustfully egotistical self. Through the intermittent lens of mythology and too-real modern life lessons, it is a story shaped by the caveat: this is going to hurt. From its old-flame trick-candle arsonist love story to the hydrocodone overdose, Haaland examines–and attempts to reconcile–recovery from crippling addiction and the endlessly resurrected, unwelcome love it both nurtures and asphyxiates.

Catching Narcissus is a sympathetic story with an undertone that is both unsettling and genuine. –BIGnick, author, Kaleidoscope Nights

Absolutely worth a read for anyone who has struggled with love, loss, abandonment, or narcissistic abuse. Haaland’s words cut to the core of the human experience. –Liz Collin (Red Eye Ruby)

Mechanically thoughtful and brutally honest. –Tim Nunes, senior editor at PlayStation Universe
