Depression & Other Magic Tricks is the debut book by Sabrina Benaim, one of the most-viewed performance poets of all time, whose poem "Explaining My Depression to My Mother" has become a cultural phenomenon with over 50,000,000 views.

Depression & Other Magic Tricks explores themes of mental health, love, and family. It is a documentation of struggle and triumph, a celebration of daily life and of living.

Andrea Gibson, author of Pansy, writes, "I read this book on a day I couldn't get out of bed and it made me feel like I had a friend in the world.... Simply put, this book disappears loneliness."

This is a great collection by a spoken word poet. Poems like "explaining depression to my mother" and "the loneliest sweet potato" show that the author knows what the struggle with depression is like and it feels like someone's finally listening.

Harrowing and beautiful

I loved it. Sometimes it is not easy living life while feeling this way but it is comforting knowing you are not the only one who goes through this struggles and feel these deep emotions.

Beautifully exposed

i really enjoyed Sabrina! I haven't listened or read to any kind of poetry in a while and this was an excellent welcome back. I felt understood e been through her metaphors in love and depression. I recommend reading this, especially if you want a glimpse into the stream of consciousness of a young person with depression.

As an avid reader of contemporary poetry, and a poet myself, I couldn't stop listening. Going through bits of depression myself, the authors words really made me stop and think--pausing the audio multiple times to sit and contemplate. I really loved the syntax, and it's always a pleasure to hear an author read their own writing to give it voice.

after finishing the audiobook, it makes me want to purchase a hard copy to love with dog ears and sticky notes!

Well Done!

I’m not gonna say they were right by stealing my copy of this book, but I am gonna say I understand cause it’s incredible. But I got the audio version to hold me over until I can replace my hardcopy.

This book was stolen from me
