I don’t have the appropriate words to express how much this collection of poetry speaks to me. I’m not exaggerating when I say, that no piece of writing has ever made such an immediate and profound impression on me. This is a must read.
I knew from just the preface that at least conceptually I identified with your perspectives, but then your poetry just whispers directly into my soul. I’m blown away..."
I love this book, although I won’t call it a book more a work of word art.

Among my favorite pieces are Shadow, Creep, Quarantime, Permission, Battered, Glutton for Punishment, It’s Complicated, Snuff and last but not least the Graphic interlude.  

I could see the Graphic interlude hanging in a cool frame on a wall somewhere I love it so much lol. 

This book made me feel again. Words are powerful, please keep on sharing yours with the world."
 I didn't know that I needed this book

​Normally, I'm not a fan of poetry books. They're either dripping with flowy language that's overdone, or they delve into despair in ways that I don't feel comfortable. But this book is different. I didn't know that I needed this book, until it showed up.

Somehow, G.G. has managed to take all of my feelings, the light and the dark, and put them into words that make me feel understood, supported, and frankly, that I'm not alone.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would.
 Incredibly compassionate and insightful. Beautiful writing.

A wonderful collection. These poems are surprising and beautiful in their depth and insight. Each one speaks to you especially if you've ever been affected by mental health issues. It validates what many are afraid to express.
Whoever you are, you need to read this beautiful work of art.

This book of poems both changed and saved my life. I mean it. Reading this book helped bring me out of my deepest depression and most anxious times. The author expresses the experiences and thoughts that are so common among those struggling with mental illness. It not only allows the person struggling to connect and understand themselves and others on a deeper level, but it also allows others to understand and be of better assistance for their loved ones who may be struggling. While reading this book, I became more hopeful for the future. I appreciated myself and this “gift” more than I ever did before. The author tells a beautiful story through the use of poems that I recommend everyone read it. I was more then excited to recommend my best friend read this book, as it is by far the most incredible, thought-provoking, real book that I have ever read and loved (I am not much of a reader, and am currently reading it for the third time in just a few weeks).
Thank you for writing this and truly understanding.
Stunning debut; surprisingly relatable. 
Incredible! A powerful debut collection written with a creative and sharp wit, and a well learned mind. The poems relentlessly explore, astutely observe, to provoke questions reflecting on the human condition. Throughout, they combine an appropriate measure of serious focus, often combined with humor. This work voices disturbing truths but also gives hope, imparting wry wisdom and offering reflection on the many challenges we personally face and perhaps observe in others. A must read for anyone who has lived with depression, or loves someone who has.
Great reading!

It is a hard subject that really needs to be out there to everyone to understand, and this book can give you a raw, in-your-face understanding in a beautiful way by using poetry.
A beautiful work of art.

Whisper Screaming in the Middle of a Crowded Room is a true work of art. G.G. Knoth composed such a beautiful array of poems surrounding the topic of mental health. She approaches the sheer reality of people who are dealing with mental health issues or mental illness so eloquently. She is raw, real, and strong. Not only does this book attack the stigma and discomfort many of us deal with when talking about the reality of mental illness, but she approaches the topic creatively, witty, and her sense of humor really shines through during the darkness. This book has made me feel like I am not alone and my feelings are real and valid. I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling, going through a rough time, or to anyone who loves someone who is struggling because it provides an expressive reality of what it is like to wrestle with your own brain and thoughts. Whisper Screaming in the middle of a Crowded Room is like no other book I have read. It is a gift, it is a work of art, it is so beautifully written, and most importantly, it is authentic and genuine. This book has provided me with a sense of hope and comfort on the darkest of days. When you read this book I guarantee you will feel the author directly reaching out to you and providing you with a warm hug and smile. You are not alone, you are heard, and you matter.
Excellent collection of work!

This is an extremely personal and raw collection of work. Throughout the book, Dr. Knoth discusses a variety of topics which are not always openly discussed in many circles, even on a professional level. This book is a good example how reading can reach multiple audiences in the comfort of their own home without feeling ashamed or judged in relating to the variety of topics discussed in the poetry. The book discusses how a person can feel like they are stuck in a web, reminding us of how we mentally become entangled in our thoughts, and how we struggle to free ourselves from the defiant constant thread in our mind and surroundings. Highly recommend.
Honest, passionate and powerful...how else do you like your poetry?

G.G. Knoth brings a refreshing breath of honesty through the passion of her poetry. This girl is literally ON FIRE! She is burning not only with tumults of today's times but she also burns with the passion of the Spirit. I read Whisper Screaming while nestled in the comforts of my own oubliette and G.G.'s words plucked the strings of my heart while echoing tears tip toed down my lashes. Thank you, sweet sister, for reminding me that "it's Ok to not be Ok".
A brilliant journey

Take a journey into the dark and twisty depths of depression followed by the reemergence of light and hope. The author not only offers the reader the opportunity to realize they are not alone but also a glimpse behind the curtain for those with loved ones suffering from depression.
Beautiful, honest...piercing and raw

​This book is a collection of poetry that reaches into the very depths of the heart, mind and soul of the author, allowing the reader a window into the world of mental illness. Her words are beautiful and honest...and, they are piercing and raw. She seeks to speak to those living with mental illness, and offers them herself in written form, to let them know they are not alone. In her own words, from her poem "The Gift of Darkness," she writes...

I am glad for the sadness
because somewhere out there is
Y O U
whoever you are
reading this
needing this
desperate to know
you’re not broken or alone
I see you and I understand you

I highly recommend this amazing collection. May it speak to you the way it did to me.
 I was...

I was being bulled at work and it wasn’t the first time, just a different office unfortunately and your lovely book couldn’t have come in a better time.
 A Must Read

This book is profound, brave, and insightful. If you either suffer from some form of mental illness or know someone who does. Either way, this book is for you.
 Liberating!

Within the depths of our own shadows this book provides a blanket of relatable comfort. G.G. Knoth created a liberating masterpiece of poems that help us all comprehend the dynamic world of mental health. Whether you are impacted with your own struggles or someone close to you is, this book is for YOU! Let us all stop being “fine” & come together on this battle we’re all fighting. Thankful for this author to bravely trail blaze into the murky waters of darkness. She arose brilliantly with words of terrifying beauty! Looking forward to her next creation.
 Truly a masterpiece

​This compilation of poetry is both eye opening and awe inspiring. The author grabs your heart and soul and takes you on a journey into the depths of mental illness, that makes you fully aware of how real and raw the struggle is for so many. It is the hardest book to put down that I've picked up in quite some time. I can't thank her enough for opening my heart to so many emotions.
Ending the stigma one poem at a time.
