Praise for Eighteen Years
“When I opened the book for the first time, I didn’t close it until later that day. Kuhn’s poetry is heartbreaking yet hopeful. She made me believe that I could write poetry.”
“To me, this book is a home when everything seems impossible. I reach for it and Madisen’s words and find solace and comfort within them.”
“Upon buying this book, I had never read one of Madisen’s poems. After reading the introduction, I knew i would connect to her through her writing. Her poetry captured my attention instantly and I could not put the book down. I’ve read hundreds of poetry books and I’m in awe of how beautifully put together this one it. Fantastic read.”
