Megan Fox Says Her ‘Body Aches’ From the Weight of Men’s ‘Sins’ While Announcing New Poetry Book
Renowned actress Megan Fox, known for her roles in films like “Jennifer’s Body,” is stepping into the realm of poetry with her debut collection titled “Pretty Boys are Poisonous.” The much-anticipated poetry collection is slated for release in November, courtesy of Gallery Books, a division of the esteemed publishing house Simon & Schuster.
The forthcoming collection promises an intriguing blend of wit, heartache, and darkness, as Fox presents her unique perspective through a series of more than 80 poems. The collection delves into the complexities of love and self-identity, exploring how individuals often mould themselves to fit the expectations of their loved ones, sometimes at the cost of losing their own essence.
According to the official synopsis, Fox’s poetic journey traverses various emotional landscapes as she confronts the ways in which individuals often shape their lives around the desires and expectations of those they hold dear. The synopsis reads, “Over the course of 80+ poems Fox chronicles all the ways in which we fit ourselves into the shape of the ones we love, even if it means losing ourselves in the process.”
In a personal statement, Megan Fox shed light on the inspiration behind her poetic venture. She revealed that her poems are a poignant attempt to confront and heal from the emotional burdens she had carried due to her silence. The actress expressed that she has dedicated her life to concealing the secrets of men, leading to an emotional and physical toll. The poems in “Pretty Boys are Poisonous” serve as a cathartic release, a way for Fox to unburden herself and reclaim her sense of freedom.
“These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I’ve spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins,” Fox stated. She went on to emphasize that her words encapsulate her journey to reclaim her identity and happiness, while also inspiring others to illuminate the buried truths hidden in the shadows.
Megan Fox’s personal life has garnered attention due to her high-profile relationships. She was married to “Beverly Hills, 90210” star Brian Austin Green from 2010 to 2021, and they share three sons. In recent times, Fox has been in a well-publicized on-and-off relationship with singer Machine Gun Kelly, a romance they made public in 2020.
“Pretty Boys are Poisonous” will be more than just a written collection; it will also be available as an audiobook from Simon & Schuster Audio, with Fox herself lending her voice to bring her poetic compositions to life. As the release date approaches, fans and literature enthusiasts eagerly await the insight and emotion that Megan Fox’s poetic endeavour promises to offer.
