The fifth week of Friday

From debut Australian author and conceptual artist Karina Sharpe comes a unique approach to prose about hope, wonder and the tragedies of self limitation. With help from friends The Frangipanis and nemesis The Raven, Karina helps us hold a mirror to our own hearts to achingly reveal the universal ways we let ourselves down and witness opportunities to choose better; only to bring us home again, closer to our fullest & gentlest self.
While many poetry books wander around the concepts of finding and losing external love, The fifth week of Friday is a love story to self and the first phase on a journey to inner freedom, wonder and belonging.
Praise for The fifth week of Friday:
The fifth week of Friday was like staring at yourself in the mirror, in turns familiar, honest, beautiful and unnerving. It walks a fine line between every woman's story and a unique new literary voice. Heidi Merika
The The fifth week of Friday is moving on so many levels. It romanticises the everyday tragedies and shifts the inner critic into imagination. It was really comforting to have the poems articulate my feelings and inspire me to find beauty even in my personal lows. Lisette Lovell
I have read The fifth week of Friday on a regular basis and it almost comes out of the page and physically touches me. The descriptiveness and passion that is almost casually given, in the intense narrative, is so realistic and achingly beautiful. On every page I find myself nodding in agreement with the way Karina has painted a picture of something that is an emotion. Angela Mansey
