As we float through life, victimized by circumstance and stalked by rumours, we come to understand that false rumours have opposites: realities. These are the realities to which this book is dedicated. These realities share only truth, for some are harsh, some are cruel and some are bitter. But, the truth that binds them inspires the dissection of emotion- allowing a comprehension of feeling. Each poem is bound to a reality. This is where I keep my realities, this is where they culminate. --- •RARITY AWARD WINNER (MAGNETIC READS)• •OPAQUE AWARD WINNER (GENRE FINALIST)• •WADDO RUNNER UP•

Confession is a poetry anthology that seeks to unnerve and evolve the contemporary style through its brutal analysis of the issues that plague the young, modern zeitgeist. Its judicial theme of confession creates an unforgiving and relentless pace that mirrors the stark, harsh realities of modern oppression in all of its forms. Discussing sex in the context of status and power as well as tackling identity politics and domestic abuse, Confession is an encapsulation of what it means to be young in the west today.
