    This is a collection of the poetry that I have written and been writing since around about October 2018. Naturally, not every poem has been of a decent enough standard to be included here, but the ones that have been included are the ones that I like the best, for a variety of reasons. Though it is simply a matter of my own personal taste, I am not so conceited as to claim that they are works of genius, and can recognise that I still have a lot of improvement to make to my writing. Please don't expect a masterpiece. Every single one of these poems is based in reality, meaning that no matter how fantastical or absurd they might seem, they all include a modicum of truth in them as relates to my own experiences. Many of the poems are inspired by people that I know or have known and many of them take stylistic inspiration from poets and poetry that I admire. A lot of the poetry in this anthology is based on subjects that fascinate and affect me personally. One rather prominent example of this would be the subject of Love. Another would be People. I try to relate the world as I see it through the poetic medium, writing of only the things that I know, can comprehend or imagine. Thus, every poem here, regardless of quality, is highly personal to me. I can only hope that while the poems are about my own unique and individual experiences, emotions, thoughts, perceptions and so on, they remain accessible and maybe even enjoyable to others. To quote Martin Amis, "Every writer hopes or boldly assumes that his life is in some sense exemplary, that the particular will turn out to be universal". Any opinions are appreciated.

    Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608-1674). The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the verification. It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time. The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men".

    Paradise Regained is a poem by English poet John Milton, first published in 1671 by John Milton. The volume in which it appeared also contained the poet's closet drama Samson Agonistes. Paradise Regained is connected by name to his earlier and more famous epic poem Paradise Lost, with which it shares similar theological themes; indeed, its title, its use of blank verse, and its progression through Christian history recall the earlier work. However, this effort deals primarily with the temptation of Christ as recounted in the Gospel of Luke.
