A Bit Much
A Bit Much: Poems | Lyndsay Rush
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
The debut poetry collection from Lyndsay Rush (aka @maryoliversdrunkcousin) is a humorous and joyful celebration of big feelings, tender truths, and hard-won wisdom, for fans of Maggie Smith, Kate Baer, and Kate Kennedy. At long last, a book of poetry for people who didnt even know they liked poetry. And theyre in good company: author Lyndsay Rush didnt know she liked it either. That is, until she embarked on an internet experiment under the Instagram username @MaryOliversDrunkCousin that turned into a body of work that struck a chord with women across the country; thanks to her signature wordplay, witticisms, andagainst all oddswisdom. With titles like "Shedonism", "Someone to Eat Chips With", "Its Called Maximalism, Babe", and "Breaking News: Local Woman Gets Out of Bed", Rushs debut collection of poetry uses humor to grapple with the female experiencefrom questioning whether or not to have children, to roasting the patriarchy, to challenging what it means to "age gracefully"and each piece delivers gut-punching truths alongside gratifying punchlines. Readers walk away from Lyndsays work feeling seen, celebrated, and wholly convinced that joy is an urgent, worthwhile pursuit. With over 140 convention-bending poemsmost of which are never-before-seenthis book is quite literally A Bit Much.

Self-aware in the best possible way with tongue placed firmly in cheek, Lyndsay Rush has crafted a delightful collection. These are not poems to linger over but to blaze through nodding and laughing along to Rush's observations.
