In a large, white-picket dream, a married mother selfishly cries. She has everything she ever wanted-a husband, a house, a business degree, a baby-she is at the pinnacle of the migrant dream. Now she is thirty, and it’s as if she is looking at her life for the very first time. The creativity she had kept buried inside all her life birthed out with her daughter, and now her words are taking on a life of their own.

From the author of the Australian poetry bestseller, Love and F–k Poems, Just Give Me The Pills is yet another brilliant novel-in-verse. It is a story of repression. It is a story of being silenced, and the terror of realising all the choices you’ve ever made are those you were expected to make, and you have no idea who you really are. It is a story of liberation, of rebuilding and finding one’s true self.

Praise for Just Give Me The Pills:

“A viciously fearless poet. For Koraly, a second-generation Cypriot-Australian woman, to openly navigate mental health, sexism, marriage, expectation, and motherhood in such a vulnerable and clear way is a priceless moment for Australian writing.” - Luka Lesson

“The kind of honesty that can only come about after being wound-up, held writhing, repressed and silenced.” - Disclaimer Magazine (UK)
