    About this ebook

    LET YOURSELF HURT, SHIVER, BREATHE, AND LOVE. LET YOURSELF BE DEVOURED.

     

    DEVOURED is an exploration of the pleasure and the pain that can only come from love. I wrote this book of poems for all the souls who wander with shattered hearts. Whether you are a fan of modern or classical poetry, or you are just beginning your journey - this raw, intimate collection will satisfy your craving.
