"Vent." is the first collection of poems released by George F. There are years of their poems accumulated, and they put them together into a collection for others to enjoy.
They write poems about past hardships, lovers, friends, family, and self-realization. Writing helps them heal, and they learn about themselves the more they create. "Vent." explores poems they wrote when they felt at an all-time low with small hopes that life would improve.
Throughout this collection, you read through words George pieced together when they needed something to get them through the day when they felt the whole world was against them, and sometimes even their mind.
George F. is a writer, dramapunk, pleasure-seeker and operator in foreign lands who has travelled extensively across Europe and Asia working with socially excluded groups ranging from the homeless to heroin addicts and street kids.
