Description
In this collection of poems, Sad Boy is both protagonist and narrator, enchanted by beauty while seeking eternity. He crosses rainbows and falls from the clouds of love, the sting a reminder that it’s all for real. Caught between prayers and punches, Sad Boy searches for satisfaction in a world where everything fades.
In the end, he is neither sad nor a boy. All that remains is a covenant to dance in the sun until his face resembles a crumpled napkin.

More perfect for young readers and beginners, this poetry collection has short poems revealing the emotions and the feelings of someone young regarding their life and their beliefs.
Short yet honest and personal, this collection will give you a good time reading something to relax and reflect on.
Thank you, Atmosphere Press, for the advance reading copy.

I really enjoyed this. I was able to finish it in one sitting. Some of the poems really impacted me and I was left thinking about it for some time afterwards. However in the same effect some of the poems left me confused and I found I was having to go back and reread lines or start from the beginning because the phrasing was just too confusing for me. I will be seeing about getting a physical copy though to have and reread.
