Get
Over Yourself is a biographical
delve into belonging, exclusion, and the relationship between
self-awareness and self-delusion, the rejection of social norms, and
the ways in which we accept and question implied cultural rules.
Using humour, spoken word poetry and storytelling Leanne takes us
through the familiar - teenage rebellion, grief, sex, self-esteem and
self-discovery in a personal political narrative that always reminds
us of the uncertain world we are growing into.
The
poems in this collection question received wisdom, playfully
unravelling the awkward and the bizarre aspects of modern life.
Leanne’s poetry is an exploration of human failures and resilience,
the things that make us angry, and the things that make us laugh.
