Description
"When you're dumb enough for long enough, you're gonna meet someone too smart to love you, and they're gonna love you anyway, and it's gonna go so poorly," Neil Hilborn writes in his debut full-length collection, Our Numbered Days.
In 2013, Hilborn's poem OCD went viral, and has amassed over 11 million views to date. While this collection ruminates on love, heartbreak, and mental illness, these poems are anything but saccharine. Hilborn uses the same humour and self-deprecation that propelled OCD to success in order to make his unmatched vulnerability all the more powerful.
Ultimately, Hilborn is a poet of the people: his work is accessible, honest, and entertaining a revitalising entry in contemporary poetry.
This debut collection contains 45 of Neil's poems including the sensation OCD, also Joey, Future Tense, Liminality, Moving Day, and many, many never-before-seen poems.
