Lightning in a Bottle is a blunt and dark humored collection of poems that takes you through a journey of self reflection through the eyes of a bipolar latina. Veronica Lopez unapologetically delves into the dark and light of life, and talks about identity, mental illness, heartbreak, toxic relationships, and empowerment. It is a story of many emotions and many secrets. It's a story meant for the misunderstood, those predisposed to feel so much, and anyone else looking to break out of the bottle they've been trapped inside.
