001

by Dior J. Stephens

What is 001?

The first in an anthological collection of poetry by Dior J. Stephens a.k.a. Dolphin, 001 captures and conveys the mind of the young writer from the years of 2014-2016. Spanning several continents, lovers, experiences, and woes, 001 is a reflective piece meant to expose the writer in full. This first edition, taken directly from the pages of the journal that housed the original words, shows the writer in all blazingly brutal, occasionally distressing honesty. A work of labor, contemplation, and healing, 001 is meant to be viewed as Stephens' first words as a poet, creating the foundation of what is to come.
