I have read Trista Mateer's previous works and enjoyed them a lot. Small Ghost is a poetry collection about mental health, feeling sad, and loneliness. They were very relatable. I also enjoyed how the artworks complemented and reflected the themes in the poems. Thanks to Central Avenue Publishing and Netgalley for providing me with an early copy.

I always love Trista Mateer’s poetry and this was no exception. This was a short but emotional collection, which I feel anyone who has ever suffered from depression can connect to. Despite it being centered on the struggles of depression, the hope of getting better at the end of the tunnel makes it even more powerful. Self love is not easy and Mateer’s poetry shows that perfectly.
