Tekst achterflap

In this collection the author writes about universal themes such as love, society and its wars. It is a high collection of raw poems, which scream and bite, sometimes with humor, sometimes brutally and exposing what you don’t want to see. A mirror that is not always pretty. It's about how we as people interact with each other and how the poet, as a person, tries to love within that chaos. A life of attraction, repulsion and learning while still daring to be yourself. That’s not easy and can make you feel at moments "total loss".
