Beschreibung
This poetry collection was a Christmas gift for my ex-best friend five fucking years ago. Five and a half. We’re no longer talking. Anyway, back to more professional matters. Kids, I’ll say it again: This is what happens when u are too afraid of rejection and failure and procrastinate the living shit out of your artistry!
Anyhoo, “Threatened by round Shapes” offers a range of poem-virgins. I even left the grammatical errors in there for authenticity. It all contains but a good dozen different themes sprawled out across, yes, more than 120 poems.
Attention! I wrote these when I was both literally and legally a CHILD. Some people might say it would be foolish to publish work that the author can’t identify with anymore, but that means: shame. And I fucking can stand it no longer!!! I hug it now! I shall feel nothing but kindness for my own “cringe.” And so should you. Maybe, this book can serve as a pillow. One will surely need to rest when taming that dragon of a feeling. <3

River
River is a young author and activist from the Eifel region. She gained recognition through the publication of her debut novel and several poetry collections, as well as through her involvement in mental health self-help. Even during her youth, she suffered from various mental illnesses that severely limited her daily life for years. Myra Abel processes her experiences under the pen name “River” and in June 2026 published a novel and three poetry collections through her own publishing house. In 2024, she founded the self-help group “Kopfkino” to help others in similar situations. Her story and creative approach to dealing with the illness were brought to the attention of a wide audience through media reports by WDR and Tagesschau, among others.
