For {you're} Courage

For {You're} Courage by Nick Barrows are poems that are large, grandiose and insistent, and it's apparent from the maturity of his latest collection of works that he's not afraid to share his world view with the chaotic backdrop of anxiety. You can almost feel what the poet feels straight from the page, but not just in the form of anxiousness, urgency or anticipation. Barrows intricately melds his take on modern culture, music included, into also the acknowledgement of the feelings swirling around him all the time. For {You're} Courage makes it easy for us to understand what Barrows describes as it reflects what many of us experience every day but often keep to ourselves.
