If you're looking for a window into human existence, a full spectrum of emotion, and a flair for musical flow, this poetry collection provides a completely unique experience. Oxford commas need not apply.Requiem in Rhyme is the author's debut collection of poems written over almost two decades. The poems themselves meditate on universal topics: depression, mental health, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, and insomnia. The project has been described as poetry written in a hip-hop style cadence.The book is approachable even for those with minimal poetry experience. But it also features elaborate nuance and diction manipulation to satisfy deep-diving poetry afficionados. Certain selections are a bit of a gut-punch, but others will bring a smile to your face, and laughter to your heart. It was written from the soul and edited with the mind.

In a departure from the darkly emotional Volume 1, this work is slightly more upbeat and highlights the beauty of humanity. Moments of raw humanity are not absent, but scattered throughout the collection. As a whole, the spirit is much more light and inviting.Individual poems examine social interaction, personal introversion, political observation, and random thoughts from waking up at two in the morning. Something in this book will absolutely make you upset, cry, or laugh. Most importantly, something will absolutely make you think.
