‘Charly is social media’s answer to Carol Ann Duffy’ Sunday Times STYLE

From the bestselling author of She Must Be Mad comes the second book of poetry and prose from Charly Cox.

What is love? Baby don’t hurt me… but please like my Instagram post.

Hello, my name is Charly and I am code-dependent, so would you please, please just validate me?

From the bestselling author of She Must Be Mad comes Charly Cox’s second collection of poetry and prose.

This is an account of a life lived online. Swiping for approval. Scrolling for gratification. Searching for connection. From the glow of a screen in the middle of the night, to the harsh glare of the hospital waiting room, Validate Me is a raw and honest look at the highs and the lows of a digital life.

The new voice of a generation, Charly’s words have the power to make us all feel less alone.

Critic reviews

"[Charly] is turning a new generation on to poetry." (The Telegraph)

Validate Me was an okay poetry collection, but it felt very common and didn’t offer anything particularly unique. The poems were fine, but they lacked originality, and nothing really stuck with me. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t leave a lasting impact either. If you're looking for something fresh or thought-provoking, this book might not stand out.

Tap to hear sample... I was enamored with her intense swarms of cadence and sharp courses of metrical hair-pins from the first brief megs of stream. There's a taser to each turn of phrase, solemn shocks that lay a listener low. Her work has a viral vulnerability about it that attaches itself to even the most secure and scanned of systems. This collection, embedded with cache of world-weariness and virtual drives, is an open document of our collective digital loneliness.

The lossless compression of analog heartbreak
