Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry on Love, Lust & Loss is my poetry diary. In the moments when my emotions are the most intense and to the surface, writing them down like this is how I sort out what's happening with me. Putting pen to paper and noting what I'm feeling in the same moment that I'm experiencing it, I find, helps me to tap into elements of it, which I might not be able access in the same way again. Volume 1 takes place during 2008 when I was going through a crisis of fate (no, I don't mean 'faith') and conscience. I look back on that year with a kind of dark gratitude. It is probably the year of my life that I feel the least proud of myself. However, it served as an education to who I really am, or rather was. Hard lessons were learned and my regrets were well-earned. I hope that you'll be able to identify with the twenty-something girl I was here, who was trying to navigate and battle with the ebb and flow of LOVE, the pleasure and torment of LUST and the devastating impact of LOSS... (of love).
