'Anxious in a Sweet Store is Anna Jacobson's second illustrated poetry collection where the 'sweet', whimsical, humorous, and quirky is juxtaposed with the 'anxious' and disabling forces of mental illness. Themes of food, family, dreams, and culture crystalise, while the poet's mind is fizz bang sherbet on the tongue. Anxious in a Sweet Store is an inventive collection of poems that build and enrich each other across threads of music and anxiety and beyond.'
