Capturing moments of everyday life is something that many writers and poets strive to achieve with their work. I hope to capture some of the mundane moments of each day, as well as my thoughts and feelings over a few weeks. What might seem like a random poems and musings, gives a look inside of the things people like me think about and encounter during their daily lives.
The poems contained within this anthology follow a vast array of themes raging from the lamentation of past relationships to speculative poetry based on fiction.

""For a long time now, my body has been a warzone. It's been going so long that I don't know who is fighting anymore. Is it me versus everyone else? Anxiety versus depression? Mental illness versus... me? Is it even possible that I can be separated from my thoughts? Can I please shift the blame, or is is it... me versus myself? Using an online mental health quiz as a framework, this series is a window into my disease: the intense shame and self hatred; the unrelenting thoughts about others; obsessive observations about the things that """"don't matter"""" to everyone else; all the many things that make me turn on myself; and, then, finally, the beautiful moments of clarity. An account of finding self confidence (and love) again after the breakdown of a toxic relationship, """"Never Sometimes Often Always"""" is a celebration of me, all that has shaped me, and all I have overcome.""

""The poems in this collection have been written over a number of years. Some were found in a notebook from a few years ago and explore the influence of places where the poet has lived; these places evoke powerful memories and there are key moments which, when relived by the prompting of the senses, release strong emotive nostalgia.The beginning poems in the collection have been written from a sense of self-reflection; thinking over influences of people and places in the current times. Some explore more poignant realities that form us as people.Finally, the last poems in the collection were written to reflect on the time between the period of 8th September to 19th September 2022 - the sad days which spanned the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the day of her funeral. These are observations of thoughts and events; focusing in on details or mourners who have sparked an interest for the poet.""
