"Kristin Garth's Shakespeare for Sociopaths showcases a collection of sonnets filled with more than just lust and sin. Lovers of poetry will be instantly enamored with empowering rhymes like The lady loved the lightning, how it tore/ apart the sky. This Pushcart & Best of the Net nominated poet from Pensacola struts and stalks these sonnets with her often brave and poignantly raw/honest voice with often revelatory revealing lines like too scarlet, shamed to leave. You're wasted, half a bar of xanax, hear a thin as string. This stirring Sociopaths collection comes from one of the best unsung Southern Poets as Garth wields such powerful lines as my words like tendrils, mansion, doesn't stop, I truly believe she will soon be inspiring a new generation of modern bardess poets. Kristin crafts the kind of modern sonnet verses that you want to experience this irresistible collection again and again. What are you waiting for? Be prepared to be seduced as Garth pens the kind of timelessly titillating poems that even the Bard would praise. Sociopaths and poetry never sounded this tempting to read. I urge you to take the tantalizing trip inside Kristin Garth's new stimulating poetry collection. You will soon discover, between the sheets of Shakespeare for Sociopaths, that too much sonnet poetry can never be enough."- Adrian Ernesto Cepeda, Poet & Author of Flashes & Verses...Becoming Attractions (Unsolicited Press2018) and Between the Spine (Picture Show Press 2019)"Kristin's sonnets are full of velvet darkness that floats off the tongue, creating vivid images with each line. Her style is dark and daring, with surprising moments of shimmering luminescence. This collection is sure to please and delight."- Tianna G. Hansen, Founder, Editor-in-Chief, Rhythm & Bones Press"Shakespeare for Sociopaths is a not only a testament to Garth's brilliance and musicality; it's a literary testament to the resurgence of sonnets in our post-post modern era" --- J.B. Stone, Author of A Place Between Expired Dreams & Renewed Nightmares (Ghost City Press 2018)"Shakespeare for Sociopaths is a defiant yearning, a call to action in favour of the stories that have lived within us, beside us. These poems are an exploration into the world we thought to be familiar. 'When you are drowning in his car, do you believe the curse?' Kristin's poems are precious, poignant, and lead us to an intimate understanding, of want and survival, and above everything else, of life and living. Here, are our biggest lessons, our fears, our days before our eyes, 'You taught me that a knife is but a key; to kill a friend, not choice, necessity.' Here, we are beginning to see the light. Here, we know there is possibility."- Tanya Singh, author of Heaven Is Only A Part of Our Body Where All The Sickness Resides
