A Fervour of Truth: Chronicling the Life of a Poet

By Lindsay Sawyer and Shanelle Westerlund

A Fervour of Truth, is an emotive story of a young girl growing up amidst trials of self discovery in an unsympathetic world. Through use of verse, Lindsay Sawyer takes you on a journey throughout her years.

'The sound of screeching tires at midnight, enchants my ears. Suddenly I have an unattainable urge to write these words down...' A selection from "Midnight Records"

She creates poems concerning the thorny matters of family life, to later years when the ideals of divinity and humanity alike are shattered.

The Mechanism
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Sounds of my soon ill-fitted fortune.
An intervening contraption
to halt
My life as I know it
Discreet basis reminds me
of better days.
Find solace meager one.

Sawyer exposes her innermost sentiment on these once naked pages, divulging secrets of the past and prospects for an optimistic future. Once immersed in A Fervour of Truth one can experience the adoration, sorrow, strife and elation we encounter each day.
