The Depths
Precise, gritty, and ethereal, The Depths explores striking new layers. As part of a collection that aims to preserve one's artistic spirit as they find their voice. This is an important testament to loving the growth on our journey and not just the successes.
Experience a year of change through the eyes of our poet as they take us through a map of memories spanning the National Parks, College campuses, New England, suburbia, and the city.
A year of new experience after new experience, this archival poetry takes you to the depths of the poet's strength and soul. Dive into the unknown with this poet and face it head on. What is it like to return home after finally understanding one's identity while away? How do we find our place in relationships both after they've passed and before they've started? How do we fall in love when there's so much fear of vulnerability? We don't know the answers so instead we write. Grab desire and watch it take control. Crawl into the Grand Canyon with poems created from echoes in its walls. Find yourself in a new city and slip it on like a skin you've always known. Grapple with nature, both earthly and emotionally. Fall into... The Depths.
