So Cried the Wolf

Vivacious tangerine peels
tearing through teal;
ivory, orange, and crimson:
little infernos tainting my vision...

So Cried the Wolf

is a collection of over 120 poems written over a two year period. Born out of one of the worst chapters of my life, it can be described as a collection of moments - attitudes, ideas, emotions, and experiences - had over a lifetime wrought with as many tragic moments as fortunate ones. It can also be understood, in a more fundament sense, as a story of being broken and of overcoming hardship; of death and rebirth; of darkness begetting light.

Divided into two parts, each containing three chapters of free verse and informal rhyme, this collection draws from Existential and Stoic philosophy, Psychology, and experience to tell a story of personal growth. Complexly woven, intellectually deep, laced with meaning, and sometimes outright biting, So Cried the Wolf leaves room for the reader's interpretation, giving it endless re-readability while remaining powerful in its messaging.
