Synopsis:
As we mold ourselves into someone we know now and walk the paths experience has pushed us down, we learn one simple truth. We never stop learning. We never stop falling. We never stop becoming. The poems within The Gilded Age of Youth embrace the highs and lows, and the grey areas, in springtide transitioning and faltered sagaciousness.
Dedication:
These poems take on a rigid road to self-growth. We experienced the rough patches in those coming-of-age eras at some point during the transition from childhood to adulthood. From sexuality to love, heartbreak t0 acceptance, destruction to exploration, infidelity of the self to fidelity of self-identity, naivety to sagacity, and vanity to integrity, we relive the cycles of vices and virtues, learning about them and sometimes learning to reject them to find peace and grace within ourselves. This is the beauty of maturity, bringing forth the gilded age of youth.
