Downfall of Hope

An anthology of poems which capture the contradictory tragedies and wonders of life. The poems and stories contained within this book focus on the opposing emotions, experienced by humans throughout life. Love and anger are consistent themes that build up throughout the book. This culminates in a number of lessons that the author hopes the readers, can take away with them. The journey taken by reading these poems is intended to be cathartic and leave the reader with answers, based on the author's own experiences. While also opening up perhaps more questions pertaining to love and life in general. The author switches between his ability to beautifully and delicately express feelings of the heart, to madness, anger and despair; reflected by short hard-hitting cursing sentences which shock as well as intrigue the reader. Thus, Halvard Green has managed to delve into and portray the human psyche via poetry in a way that has never been done before.
