IR VERDICT:
ADULTHOOD: When I Was 18 by Cat Rutherford portrays life’s confusing path for young people who are legal adults, but are only beginning to figure out what the word means. Written with words of anger, frustration, jealousy, pain, confusion, mania, depression, and a host of emotions in between, these free-style coming-of-age poems have the type of imagery for teenagers who are facing their own challenges.
