So Cried the Wolf

I’m stuck in a monochrome state:
somewhere between crimson and burgundy. the world looks awfully peculiar, and yet so oddly familiar… Born out of one of the worst chapters of my life, So Cried the Wolf journals what can be described as a collection of moments - attitudes, ideas, emotions, and experiences - had over this period. Told across a span of over 120 poems, it is a story of being broken and of overcoming hardship; of death and rebirth; of darkness begetting light; of suffering and discovering what love is; of hope, of perseverance, of growth, and, eventually, of healing.

Influenced by literary figures and thinkers as wide ranging as Charles Bukowski, Rupi Kaur, Jean Paul Sartre, Marcus Aurelius, Jordan Peterson, and Friedrich Nietzsche, So Cried the Wolf is a two part collection that interweaves personal experience with Existentialist and Stoic philosophy and self-help psychology to create compelling narratives and deeper level commentary on sociocultural, political, and philosophical issues. Complexly woven, laced with meaning, and sometimes outright biting, So Cried the Wolf leaves room for the reader’s interpretation, giving it a certain universal quality while remaining powerful in its messaging.
