I wrote all of my poems into an actual red book made around 1980 - somebody I knew was clearing out their house and I saved it from being thrown away. I fell in love with its immaculate blood-red faux leather covers and yellowed pages, and I diligently hand-wrote every sordid detail of every dark poem I'd written, once I thought they were 'finalised'. That little red book is now full, so I suppose it could be said to be a finished work.
This book will include most of the poetry from my little red book, all of which centres around depression, hopelessness, unrequited love, love-dreams, death-fantasies, with SOME descriptions of gore, so please read at your own discretion.
All of these poems were written by me. If you want to use anything from this anthology, just ask.
