Internal Devices

Trisha North's "Internal Devices" is a rare gem that should be read. This poignant work is full of so many moving pieces, many involving her struggles with her own identity, social anxieties, and bouts of depression. She often compares her battles with these elements as a form of mortal warfare which is beautifully communicated throughout this self-expressive masterpiece. Each poem will catapult you into a different part of North's incredibly profound psyche as she tries to overcome these things; often leaving you smiling, reflecting, or even near tears.
