Our lives are a collection of moments that accumulate over time, flowing one into the next. When we experience those moments as deeply as possible, and learn from them, we grow, and we change.
Struggling to find where you belong. Looking for love in a time of difficulty and in counterintuitive places. Reconciling what others may view as failure and using it to strengthen you in the long term. All of these themes and more are explored in Excerpts From a Book Untitled, a collection of free-verse poetry that plays with form and convention to explore the poet's life. Confessional and introspective, it is an honest exploration of the power of nature, the value of writing, the struggles and joys of love, the importance of friendship, and reflecting back on who we used to be.
This book is deeply personal, supported by a style of poetry that is creative, open, honest, and unrestricted. The freedom from constraints within the poetry itself reflects the freedom of the authors life, and the importance of exploration, play, and creativity to the human spirit.
