Purchase options and add-ons

Darcie Wilder's literally show me a healthy person is a careful confession soaking in saltwater, a size B control top jet black pantyhose dragged over a skinned knee and slipped into unlaced doc martens. Blurring the lines of the written word, literally show me a healthy person is a portrait of a young girl, or woman, or something; grappling with the immediate and seemingly endless urge to document and describe herself and the world around her. Dealing with the aftermath of her mother's death, her father's neglect, and the chaotic unspoken expectations around her, this novel is a beating heart at the intersection of literature, poetry, and the internet. Darcie Wilder elevates and applies direct pressure, but the wound never stops bleeding.

Editorial Reviews

Review

literally show me a healthy person reads like the schizo-monologue of a young, wired maniac who’s given up trying to figure out where and why the fuck they are, why anything is what it is, why anything. In here, all rules are off, all time is broken, and all ideas are drugs. Who the hell writes like this about daily life? Darcie Wilder does. -- Blake Butler

Darcie Wilder’s literally show me a healthy person is a book of aphorisms and short texts in the vein of Fernando Pessoa, if Pessoa grew up on Blink-182, found his voice on Twitter and had cum in his tights. Like the internet, what at first appears fragmented and tethered to fleeting moments of pop, builds movingly into a more timeless narrative of death, love, longing and disappointment that flows between all of us. So Sad Today -- Melissa Broder

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most intriguing, soul exposed books I have ever read
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2021

Our author is blunt and unapologetic. I have not read something quite like it, from the continuous train of thought to the structure of the writing. I almost feel like I have been granted a peek into the present moment's mind. I do not relate to her, nor necessarily pity her, but I cannot put the book down. It destroys all expectations of women and what we think about and focuses on a reality I can appreciate. I would recommend this quick read!

Written like a series of tweets, this book really pulled me in. I read this whole book in one shor because when I sat down to read, I became so interested. This doesn't happen to me much anymore, so I was impressed.

Secondly, I found a lot of it really relatable, which is what I look for often in poetry like this. I've already recccomended it and lent the book out. It's my current favourite poetry book.

Bought this as a gift and then read it and then bought a second for myself and gave the used one to my sister. Probably most likely one of my favorite books. Too relatable and good that it hurts.

Just an interesting book all around - kinda hard to get through, but in the way that makes you want to keep getting more uncomfortable. It’s an internet-mind on paper. I totally get why some people wouldn’t dig that! The internet is very weird! But, I think it’s worth a read for sure. Super fresh and unnerving.

If I could write in 20 point font, impact style, the only word I would write is "NO". I was recommended this book and as someone who has depression and PTSD was told that this would be something I can relate too. Instead, the first page I was too busy correcting grammar and spelling mistakes. I then realized, this is a twitter feed that was published. I am truly sorry but this book won't even be donated somewhere. I would not want to have anyone else I know suffer through this like I attempted. I do not understand what the hype is with the book either.
