The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, "What Kind of Woman," returns with a captivating collection of found poems crafted from notes she received from followers, supporters, and detractors. This ritual reclaims the venom from online trolls, inspiring readers to transform what is ugly or painful in their own lives into something beautiful.

I'm sure you could benefit from jumping on a treadmill. Women WANT a male leader. It's honest to god the basic human playbook.

These are some of the thousands of messages that Kate Baer has received online. Like countless other writers, particularly women, with profiles on the internet, as Kate's online presence grew, so did the darker messages crowding her inbox. These missives from strangers have ranged from advice and opinions to outright harassment.

At first, these messages resulted in an immediate delete and block. Until, on a whim, Kate decided to transform the cruelty into art, using it to create fresh and intriguing poems. These pieces, along with ones made from notes of gratitude and love, as well as from the words of public figures, have become some of her most beloved work.

I Hope This Finds You Well is drawn from those works: a book of poetry birthed in the darkness of the internet that offers light and hope. By cleverly building on the harsh negativity and hate women often receive and combining it with heart-warming messages of support, gratitude, and connection, Kate Baer offers us a lesson in empowerment, showing how we too can turn bitterness into beauty.
