Book Synopsis



The new poetry collection from bestselling poet Lyndsay Rush (@maryoliversdrunkcousin) is an irreverent and unlikely celebration of finding hope amidst the hellscape, for fans of Kate Baer and Kate Kennedy.

You're not hallucinating, the world is definitely on fire. But what better balm than a microdose of hope straight into your veins? That's exactly what Lyndsay Rush's much-anticipated second collection of poetry offers to readers--cynics and idealists alike. Tackling daunting questions like--How do we keep breaking news from breaking our spirit? Are we allowed to have fun when so many are suffering? How do we hold sorrow and joy at the same time? What do we owe each other? What do we owe ourselves?--Microdosing Hope is a hilarious and timely antidote to the onslaught of apathy and despair.

With titles like, "Out on a Whim", "I Feel God in This Chili's Tonight", "I Was Told There'd Be a Handbasket", and "As a Little Girl I Always Dreamed of Collaborating in Google Docs", Rush's new collection explores how to have hope, joy, and dare-we-say pleasure when it feels like the world is ending. True to form, Lyndsay masterfully uses wit and irreverence to contemplate tricky, hot topics ranging from parenting (during the apocalypse) and being an artist (in the age of AI) all the way to spirituality (in the end times) and aging (ungracefully).

Brimming with nontoxic positivity and the belief that whimsy will sustain (and perhaps even save) us, Microdosing Hope proves that laughter is indeed the best medicine; masterfully helping readers pursue empathy, nuance, and--obvi--hope. Take two and call us in the morning.



Review Quotes




Praise for Lyndsay Rush:
"A humorous and joy-filled collection of poems that celebrate the big and little feelings of life." --Southern Living

"This poetry collection about self-discovery offers readers a sense of camaraderie in its down-to-earth humor and keen emotional insights....It's both memorable and refreshingly real." --Library Journal

"Effervescent yet pithy, sometimes poignant, often vulnerable, and sprinkled with sass." --Southern Review of Books

"Irreverent...full of clever wordplay, deep feelings, and poignant observations about motherhood and the female experience." --SELF

"Deeply relatable, and bursting with joy, whimsy, abandon, and true, unencumbered delight. Mary Oliver said 'you do not have to be good'; I feel like her drunk cousin has added: 'but you ARE already fabulous, right in this moment, just as you are.'" --Melanie Zanetti, actor and voice over artist

"The wit! The wordplay! The teeny-tiny dagger embedded in the heart of every poem! Rush's collection is provocative, slyly observed, and legit laugh-out-loud funny. Every page is a f-ing delight. I LOVED it." --Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author of the No F*cks Given Guide self-help series

"A Bit Much has the kind of warmth, wisdom, and wit that will leave you crying, laughing, or cry-laughing. Rush's poetry brilliantly blends both the playful and poignant parts of womanhood through sharp observations, creative wordplay, and killer punchlines, placing you back in the scenes of your life when you most needed to feel seen. Every woman who has been made to feel like they deserve less will cherish A Bit Much." --Kate Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of One in a Millennial

"Tender, smart, and downright funny." --Kate Baer, New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman

"Lyndsay's poems reinvent the tired societal messages women receive as feminist rallying cries. As funny as they are subversive, these poems will make you laugh, cry and share with all your friends." --Joy Sullivan, author of Instructions for Traveling West
