Publisher's Summary:
I was 17 when my mum died from breast cancer. At that time, and for a period afterwards, I wasn't able to express myself verbally, so I turned to writing. It was cathartic, though I never had the courage to share what I wrote, let alone attempt to publish my work. I wouldn't claim to be a poet, or a writer, however, 20 years on, I feel ready to share. My hope is that these poems, written while I was still a teenager, will inspire, as well as be understood, whichever way you interpret them.

Beautiful Tribute
This collection of poems is a beautiful tribute to a mother who left this earth to soon. The poems are all different, but still have a similar style. Each of them touched me in some way. You can feel the grief in the words. Wish I could hug the author.
A touching collection of poetry.
A touching collection of poetry written by a young man who suffered a great loss. This feels very genuine knowing this came from this author's own feelings. The tragic loss of someone dear to you is something that many of us can relate to, and this collection of this person's personal turmoil expressed in poetry is something that you should read. You should read it because it is a testament. A testament to loss, strength and the soul.
i could not put book this down.
I just finished this book. When I started it I did not intend to read it all at once, but the dark graphic feelings conveyed through out this book made me keep reading. Although it's always difficult experiencing a mothers death, It really made me think how much more difficult it can be for a teen who loves and depends on his mother and tries to make sense of her tragic death. Poetry from deep within a suffering teen.
Worth Checking Out
Although I'm not usually drawn to poetry this book appealed to me and I read it through in one sitting. It's dark, gloomy, pessimistic but honest, sincere and at times strikingly graphic.
Some of the works really touched me, like 'The Everyday Pain' and 'Stages' which perfectly depicted a depressed soul. 'Past of Bliss' and 'What's Inside?' are terribly sad but '2125AD' is interesting and 'To a Loved One' is very nice.
It's a strange book but thought-provoking and intriguing. It's certainly worth checking out.
