Up for Discussion Volume 1

"Up for Discussion Volume 1" is a collection of poetry from the mind of someone making commentary on his life and the world in the span of 10 years. In this collection you will find themes of self-determination, sexuality, double standards, spirituality, race, and love.

From a "Blank Page" to "Beyond the Tempest", be prepared to embark on an exciting expedition. Written by an author who has been writing poetry from the age of 10, this collection of poetry is direct and provocative. It discusses pressing issues with lighthearted and sometimes crass humor. It gives motivation without being self-righteous. It's relatable and esoteric. It's entertaining, inspiring, reflective, and something that can follow you wherever you are on your journey: introvert or extrovert.
