As a debut collection of poetry, Forty & Three is so much more than an intimate look into the author's innermost thoughts, experiences, doubts and beliefs. It is a beautifully raw and engaging repertoire of work that poignantly captures and expresses the tumultuous dualities of life; Love and loss, anger and joy, peace and chaos, grief and rebirth. Broken into three emotionally accessible themes, it is a reflection of what plagues, propels and embodies the human experience through an infectious, relatable, stirring, thoughtful & heartfelt voice.
