Poetry is not dead, and it continues to prove itself to be medicine for the antidepressant generation experiencing such rapid change in media and current events. This small volume of poetry has a large message to give: it is an escape from the filters we all have to experience on a daily basis, and explores the often silent worlds of womanhood, depression, grief, chronic illness, and hope. For a look into the cotton candy-colored mind of a young woman in her 20's, The Sea Inside is a calm before a storm and an embrace after it's all over. This work stands on its own as a fresh take on how to deal with isolating thoughts and internal struggles, and yet lulls the reader into a cocoon of words. Welcome to the seaborne fantasy journey of Ali Huff. It's easy to get lost in the debut work and world of poetry that shuns conventions and embraces avant-garde mixed media art, surreal orthography, and compelling memories depicting the ghosts that live in every human. The Sea Inside is a colorful journey, spun thinly into a web of dreams and social commentary to calm or ignite the soul.
