Katie Halls poems are of the rare kind that pierce right into your soul, leaving a tingling feeling under your skin, matched only by the speechless silence enveloping the roaring storms in your mind. In other words: They touch you.
Not as soapy pathos on contrary, they touch your deepest, poorly-lit spots because they are so real and relevant. No matter if you have lived situations similar to what the poems get into, you feel that you are right there, right in it. You empathise not with the author or a narrator but with yourself.
What makes Katie Halls poetry lie so close to our own struggles and doubts are their way of spinning around the swirl formed by the eternal dilemma between needing and resisting, between shame and desire. Ultimately, between honesty and pretence.
To be read one by one, reflected upon, and then re-read. If you are up to it. Cause you will discover sides of yourself that you had forgotten about or stowed away. Now, with Katie Hall, it is time to find it back.

Katie Hall has written since she learned to write. From her little fantasy stories to honest and surprisingly insightful teenager essays in a chaos-ridden society, Hall is now at her highest level, deepest expression and most subtle language: Poetry of a woman at her 30s who lived a life beyond what many do in a lifetime.
