Bar Fights with Sad Kids is a rollercoaster ride through a formative decade, covering topics such as addiction, parental divorce, and that pissy smell that pervades the city of San Francisco. If you remember what it felt like to be in your teens and early twenties, or how great it feels not to be in your teens and early twenties anymore, this book is for you. Grab your copy, brace your core, and make it out of the bar fight alive.

In poems written between the ages of thirteen and twenty-three, Melina Cohen-Bramwell explores what it means to become an adult in our world, a world that often feels hostile, even inhospitable. These confessions pour from the depths of teenage angst and escape from the brambles of early twenties self-reflection. Like a peek through a bedroom window or a diary left open on the table, they are intimate and tender, often playful reflections on a tumultuous stage of development. Raw as they are, they still manage to retrain a droll humor that cannot be extinguished. Laugh, cry, contemplate, and celebrate surviving another day, and another decade, with this unflinching new voice.
