There is a Hell

In this collection of new poems, I explore the theme of new beginnings. On the brink of a new decade, the poems deal with the resolution of old issues, transformed into hope for a fresh start. The poems combine the dark themes of populism, institutional oppression, and dysfunctional relationships, with the brighter themes of healing, self-discovery, positive self-worth, humor, and love. To express the theme of new beginnings, the poems are in different forms, including prose, verse, limerick, humorous sonnets, and haiku. It is the start of a new decade. 2020.
