I'm sold!!!
OMG! DH Foote has broken all bounds of conventional poetry writing. Yet it felt smooth and the most natural way of expression.
The poems, or musings rather, are raw, emotional, satirical, and sometimes abstract (or at least I got metaphysical hints from them).
Here is one that made me stop and reflect on something from my past. Something I had forgotten but not.
"You don’t set me free. You can’t. But, I am free to forgive and never forget. You’re out of chances, and I’m out of pain."
A truly beautiful collection of poems that you will be forced to continue reading till the last word. Because it is that good!

Unconventional
This is a book of unconventional poetry… It’s in a different format than the usual styles, more freeform. There are some thought-provoking meditations here, I particularly liked the poem about hype.

These poems are relatable in a modern life way. Not about love or loss (mostly). They cover the things we all think and feel today.
