Books are meant to have 
Broken spines
And bent pages, 
Yellow splats of tears smearing 
Ink
They are meant for smelling 
And fraying,
Breaking to become whole. 
Made for markings and
Half formed thoughts,
And hidden pictures, 
And grocery lists,
And gently pressed flowers.
They are meant for breathing 
And living and learning
More than the protected confines 
Of a shelf.

1789: Amidst a Personal Manifestum by r1789l
33 parts Ongoing
In an effort to vent, a young individual has been writing poetry, being this his first poetry book, just a collection of some of the numerous poems already written. Most of the poems related to a romantic aspect or a new personal revolution, hence, it is symbolically related in a few of them to one of the historical watersheds more impactful not just for the author, but for the society, the French Revolution, as it involved the overthrow of an absolute monarchy. Meanwhile, for the author's personal revolution it involved a huge empowerment against others, hence, the present poetry book is considered as the modern manifestum for the author.

Tender by fullofmoon
15 parts Ongoing
Struggles have never been so beautiful. TENDER by FULLOFMOON is an exploration of the human experience, delving into abstract yet universal struggles. Through experimental use of various literary devices, classical references, political theories, economic concepts, and diverse structures, it addresses uncomfortable emotions, world systems, existential questions, and infatuations (with people, things, and the self.) By employing relatable subject matter and simple language, TENDER seeks to show how deeply beautiful our tender encounters truly are. Book cover photo credits: Reylia Slaby - Dagny Tarver
