Catching Narcissus is a collection of poems which form a smooth, yet unsettling, reflection of the critical loathing and lustfully egotistical self. Through the intermittent lens of mythology and too-real modern life lessons, it is a story shaped by the caveat: this is going to hurt. From its old-flame trick-candle arsonist love story to the hydrocodone overdose, Haaland examines--and attempts to reconcile--recovery from crippling addiction and the endlessly resurrected, unwelcome love it both nurtures and asphyxiates.
Catching Narcissus is a sympathetic story with an undertone that is both unsettling and genuine. --BIGnick, author, Kaleidoscope Nights
Absolutely worth a read for anyone who has struggled with love, loss, abandonment, or narcissistic abuse. Haaland's words cut to the core of the human experience. --Liz Collin (Red Eye Ruby)
Mechanically thoughtful and brutally honest. --Tim Nunes, senior editor at PlayStation Universe
