Appreciate The Butterflies

"Over the past four years, I've experienced the full force of the human condition. Grief, apathy, guilt, shame-these emotions became my closest companions. In life, I've lived with them and learned from them; in this collection, I've explored them deeply." Joey Groves' long-awaited second collection of poetry offers a candid look at what it means to be human and the shortcomings that come with it. Through searing honesty and raw introspection, each poem invites readers to dwell in the uncomfortable spaces of the heart and soul.

Written during an emotionally tumultuous time, APPRECIATE THE BUTTERFLIES explores the fragile balance between beauty and pain, revealing how grief and introspection can transform even the darkest experiences into moments of clarity.
