    About this audiobook

    ABOUT THE BOOK 

    A debut collection of poetry from platinum ARIA accredited artist Ziggy Alberts, 'brainwaves', explores life's experiences and emotions, inwards and out. Deeply personal, frank, insightful yet relatable, Alberts uncovers his introspective thoughts and lessons learned in conscious and intentional living. Differentiating from his lyrical work, readers can discover some of Alberts' most personal realisations from life at home and on the road.  

    Divided into 4 chapters, each poem entices the next train of thought. Alberts masterfully draws observations of the natural environment to paint his experience of introspective moments. He contemplates modern-day dilemmas, timeless topics of purpose, trust, stillness, and love.

    brainwaves

    is a polite request

    an invitation into

    a vulnerable relationship

    between the writer

    and the reader

    it is an ode

    to word of mouth

    to paper pages

    to hard copies

    handed to strangers

    shared with lovers

    kept with family

    to taking chances on books

    without knowing

    the entirety of its contents first

    to do and practice just that

    of which we do so little of today

    with books and relationships alike.

      I think many people can relate to the thoughts that go through Ziggy's mind that we cannot articulate or put into words ourselves. I recommend reading this book at night or when you're feeling settled in to fully appreciate its every verse.
