You Remind Me Of You: A Poetry Memoir
Struggling for years with eating disorders, in and out of treatment  facilities, Eireann Corrigan is teetering on the brink of no return when her  high school boyfriend attempts suicide. Suddenly, Eireann is on the other side  of the high-railed hospital bed, and on an entirely unexpected path to recovery  herself. In this witty, smart, and heart-rending poetry memoir, author Eireann  Corrigan takes a breathtakingly honest look at herself as she wends her way  through profoundly difficult times. Her complicated relationship with her  sweetheart is captured in the second-person prosaic verses scattered throughout,  as well as in the interviews, presumably with a therapist, that fill in many of  the blanks left by the sometimes cryptic first-person narrative. We are invited  inside Eireann's head to try with her to understand the bewildering chain of  events and emotions that led to such chapter heads as "She Tries Out for Varsity  Recklessness and Only Makes JV," and "She Never Claimed Reliable Narrator  Status," and "Eventually, They Had a Sex Life."
