Excessive Sodium is an unfiltered, relatively existential journey of growing up, self-awareness and young love expressed through Meredith Aristone's first collection of poetry. Complete with a variety of photographs and art to compliment her sentiments, Aristone leaves this book in the world as a tangible conversation with her soul. This poetry is about bravery. It is not only an acceptance, but an appreciation of a deep capacity to feel. Poetry doesn't run from emotions, it makes love to them and makes sense of them no matter how challenging they may be to cope with.
