Bleeding Hearts is a collection of narrative poetry written by young aspiring poet, Nicholas T. Durham. This collection is written as a fresh and modern take to the age old art form of poetry. Where as other forms of poetry are rigid with strict rhyme schemes and phrasing, the poems that can be found in Bleeding Hearts follows more of a narrative style that shapes an individual story and evocation of emotion from page to page. Each poem within this collection examines and brings to light the experiences of life, love, and loss into poetic settings that let your mind wander into stories of feeling personified by the world around us. From descriptions of beauty, to the feelings of dread and loss, the struggles of longing, and arguments for universal brotherhood. All facets of the human condition are put into poetic verse within this collection as it attempts to convey life’s many inspiring moments and ultimately a look into the very soul.
