Adultolescence

Adultolescence is the debut poetry collection from comedian and internet personality Gabbie Hanna. Illustrated throughout, it brings a light, comic touch to the twists and turns of modern adulthood — that disorienting stretch of feeling like a child and an adult at the same time.

The poems swing from the singsong rhythms of children's verse to a more sophisticated confessional style, cutting to the profound with internet slang and detonating wickedly funny jokes between moments of existential dread. By turns relatable and self-deprecating, the collection maps Hanna's own longings, obsessions, and insecurities.
