Teenage Dissertation: poetic lessons of a generation is at once a poetic examination of an age group struggling against the social instabilities of our time and a rallying cry for that generation to shatter the misconceptions and stereotypes that threaten to repeat themselves within their time. Author Chalind Farquharson, in his first volume of poetry, has attempted to illuminate the trials he and his peers have endured throughout a time of war, social and political disillusions. With topics ranging from love to fatherhood to even race and religion, Teenage Dissertation is a reference for any mind that seeks a comforting word.
