Holy mackerel. Today, is the day. The day my second full length poetry collection enters the world. Mind Noise Two The Adventures Of The Kid On Mars has been a long journey. Waiting for this to get into the hands of you, the readers, has been agonising at times but, love and behold, WE MADE IT.
I don't want to spoil too much but here is a poem from within it, titled 'It's impossible to spell depression without a little blood' - it's one of the four 'it's impossible’ poems in the book:
To all those who read these things, thank you. To everybody who bought a book, reached out, liked, shared, commented, etc, etc. Thank you. It is the book birthday and I am exhausted but in the best of ways. I cry when I think of this book being out there now, alone in the world with so much of my journey available for consumption. I hope you find yourself in this book, that there's something you take away and in my wildest dreams, I hope this book gives you superpowers. This book is my complete self and how much I pray that it is contagious. That it breeds confidence and is like an adrenaline shot for creativity. If you haven't picked up a copy yet, just know I have zero doubts in this book. I built it from rubble and now it is a castle. I am ending this one here. Going to go lay in a dark room and think about deer. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
To preorder go HERE - See you Friday, homies.
Yay yay yay for your book birthday!!! I’m half way through mine…I love it. Thank you for the words 💙
