Leviathan: A Collection of Poetry

Every now and again a supremely deft collection of poetry is produced by a writer, which goes far beyond anything that they have done in the past and has the ability to stand alongside anything that even the finest of their craft can muster.
Leviathan, by Kent C Schroer, is just such a collection, reaching into the past and #intertwining it so skillfully with the future that the two become almost indistinguishable. #Drawing on near-death experiences that changed his life forever, Schroer has distanced himself from the previous turmoil of his life to create a work that seeks out peace and resolution and will echo the fears and hopes of many who read it.

Centering on themes of religion, myth, nature and mental illness, Leviathan is a collection that we can all relate to in some small way, whether we are battling the unseen forces which drive our grief, or keeping one hopeful eye on the future. It is a book to be picked up and leafed through in moments when only self-reflection will help, or when we feel the need for an alternative viewpoint that will show us that we are all human and all face our own demons.
