    Focus: A Poetic View

    About this ebook

    Focus is an anthology of poems telling my story with every turn of the page. I tried to be as creative as possible to give a modern perspective of poetry. Focus is a detailed analysis of my life. It is about traumas from the past, which I've utilised as an escape from reality, avoiding the normal tendencies of poetry writing. I write about love, grief, hope and a bit of politics as well as mental health. I hope it shines like moonshine in your eyes, the reader.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
