BOOK NOOK

In February 2016 , singer / songwriter Jessie J reposted a poem from Calgary writer Haley MacLeod on Instagram . MacLeod was woken at 2 am thanks to multiple messages from friends asking if she saw the post from one of her favourite singers . The post got more than 28,000 likes and hundreds of positive comments , which MacLeod says was a confirmation that sharing her poetry with others is her calling . At the time she was well underway in writing her debut poetry book , Room 5608 , which she self-published this spring . It ’ s 100 per cent her vision , from the poetry to the formatting and book design . She says the book was a major part of helping her cope with the trauma , grief and depression she went through at a young age .
“ I lost my father to addiction and suicide ,” Macleod says . “ That was a defining moment in my life where I realized I needed to use my voice to shed light on the conversations and feelings most people shy away from .”
She says she never had grand dreams of being a poet : “ Poetry found me . She gave me a pen and told me , ‘ Write until the pain brings you back home to yourself .’ For five years I wrote everyday , nine hours a day , until Room 5608 came into fruition . I ’ m sure every Starbucks in this city knows what I drink .” The poems follow a free verse and minimalistic style , and touch on heartbreak , grief , mental illness and recovery , with the goal of bringing healing to herself and the people around her . Room 5608 is available at Pages on Kensington , Shelf Life Books , select Chapters / Indigo locations and through Amazon .
