Praise

“The 21 artists, who share their stories of madness, trauma, addiction, abuse and self-destruction, and their relationship to art, leave no vulnerable detail unwritten.” Shameless

“The [contributors to] Live Through This testify to lives of survival—turning tears and tendencies toward mania, depression, and self-mutilation into powerful lessons.” Curve Magazine

“Captivating, concise, and humbling, Live Through This is easy to put down between pieces and become just as immersed upon picking it up again.” Feminist Review

“The essays and visuals that make up Live Through This plum the depths of out-of-control lives, examining how self-destruction functions as both a hindrance and a productive challenge.” Bitch Magazine
