Atom: A Collection of Poems

by Alex Armoredes

In his debut poetry collection, author Alex Armoredes discusses topics of friendship, loneliness, and feeling out of place and inadequate in a world that doesn’t appreciate those who don’t follow the crowd.

A collection perfect for navigating the difficult periods in life, and finding hope even when everything seems lost.

They only see the outside of me,
And that’s the only way they decide to judge.
If only I could show them what’s on the inside, but we,
As a group, only decide to hold a grudge.

I really enjoyed this collection. There were quite a few that resonated - especially after living alone during quarantine - but Hallucinations stands out as the most absolutely devastating (in a good way). That one hit perfectly.

Would definitely recommend to anyone who spends too much time in their head.

Well, it's my book, so a five star review? I'd be silly not to self promote!

What can I say about Atom? It's a collection of poems I mostly wrote during the lockdowns in 2020, with a few extra poems written this year. It discusses various topics, with a big focus on friendship, loneliness, and belonging. I hope you enjoy.

If you do end up choosing to read this book, please do review it regardless of your opinion. Thank you!

I don't normally read poetry, but that cover is enticing me.
