"He Felt Unwell (So He Wrote This)" is a collection of poems and illustrations that represents the mind's messiness, how one day we can feel steely and secure, and the very next, find ourselves crumbling to bits. It's a reminder that life is a ceaseless cycle. We will always go through times when we feel empty, when we must trudge back up the hill to fetch our pails, to fill our happy. And that's perfectly okay.
