Katie Griffiths' debut poetry collection, "The Attitudes," delves into a profound exploration of trust and faith, encompassing the realms of the body, mind, and the intangible aspects of existence that we strive to grasp but ultimately cannot. Within these pages, we embark on an intimate journey, confronting mortality head-on and navigating the delicate balance between visceral wisdom and intellectual understanding. We witness the intricate interplay between fragile, mortal bodies and the powerful minds that control them, between the luminous spaces of existence and the haunting shadows that lurk within.

Through her bold, effervescent, and frequently playful poetry, Griffiths tackles profound subjects such as eating disorders, aging, and grief with a precise and inventive lyricism. "The Attitudes" weaves together a tapestry of voices and perspectives, layering counterpoints and juxtaposing the unresolvable to provoke deeper reflection and a sense of stillness amidst the noise and distractions of daily life. This astute and accomplished book serves as a transformative testament to the power of poetry to illuminate the human experience and offer solace in the face of uncertainty.
