This book is just what it sounds like: a selection of poetry from my first poems at age 11 to the poems I write now at age 27. Don't worry, I don't just drop you into 16 years of poetry with no guide. I split this project into five sections, based on my age and what was going on in my life. We start with the Early Years, spanning from 11 to 14, when I was still discovering poetry and wrote mostly in school. Next comes the Middle Ages, from 15 to 17, my high school years, when I was still finding myself as a poet. The next section, the Dark Ages, from 18 to 21, represent the hardest years of my life. I was struggling the most with my mental health and my poetry became my oasis. I honestly don't know how I would have made it without poetry. The Renaissance, ages 22 to 24, represents a time of me coming into my own as a poet. Finally, the Age of Enlightenment, from age 25 to now, represents the best poetry I've ever written.
