As a child, Haley Lu Richardson dreamed of being a pop star, an ambition curtailed only by the fact that she’s tone deaf. “I do still wish I could sing, gosh darn it,” she says to us for her Schön! 49 cover story, dazzling in Pandora. She soon shifted her focus from songwriting to poetry, a pursuit she returned to intermittently as her acting career grew, portraying notable roles in season two of ‘The White Lotus’, ‘Columbus’, and ‘Five Feet Apart’. “I feel like in another life, I would be a pop star, but in this life, I figured out another way to express those similar themes a lot of songwriters in my generation do – with poetry.”

It was while filming an unreleased movie in South Africa that Richardson realized she could share her poems with the world. Her co-star, Asim Chaudhry, asked what she’d call the book, and she replied on the spot, “Probably ‘I’m Sad and Horny’.” She recalls, “When I came up with the title, I saw it all and I was like, ‘Oh, I could put this out there in the world and someone would read it and relate,’ which is enough of a reason.”
