Books like Idiot Verse

I was doomed to rate this five stars before opening the pages. If you're unaware: Keaton Henson is my everything. He is a singer that pours his heart out into every song with a voice so wavering and gentle that I just want to hold him in my arms until the end of the Earth and tell him he's precious and that it's okay and nobody will ever hurt him again. He has severe social anxiety that causes him to only play live music rarely, which just makes this book that much more special, for him to share more of himself with us.I'm utterly torn because of this. He writes so candidly, and his heartbreak and self-loathing and poeticness really shine through. This book talks about loving and losing love, his anxiety, his relationship with his family, his relationship with London, and everything in between. It's gorgeous. It's haunting. It's everything.Interspersed are penciled-in drawings of Keaton's, and they were just the nicest touch. A lot of the images are incomprehensible--his style is questionable at best--but somehow they work. Even if I have no idea what i'm looking at, even just the texture of the pencil strokes speaks enough about what he must have been feeling while he was drawing it. I can't emphasize enough how much you should pick up this book. If I wasn't a fan of Keaton it would probably only be a 4 star book for me, but just because I had his music on shuffle while reading and knowing him as an artist, I connected to this on a personal level and it just made me ten times more inspired to jump on a plane to London so that I can find him and tell him how perfect he is and how important he is to me. This book is truly priceless. Please get it if you love Keaton at all.
