Insomnia: A Middle-of-the-Night Haibun Collection

With just three lines and a total of 17 syllables in each haiku and studded with a mix of short stories and prose poetry, Insomnia is a raw, realistic look at how the pressure of doing it all — balancing marriage, friendships, family, work, self-care, social media and societal expectations, all while living through a global pandemic, a mental health crisis and a loneliness epidemic — can bubble up to a breaking point. It is an honest and vulnerable look into the thoughts and feelings leading up to one of life’s darkest moments. Buy the book at laurenbartleson.com (use PODCAST20 for 20% off 😉)
