How prone are we to becoming prisoner to our perceptions? What if, despite our differences, we all share in the same fundamental human experience?In this collection of sweet, free-verse poems, first-time author Oriol Eustache explores this experience from all sides, considering the complex ways personal, sociopolitical, and cultural factors shape both our feelings and our very existence. From patriotic odes to meditations on the pandemic, to classic love poems, this collection is made up largely of big, open expressions of passion, perseverance against the odds, and the importance of emotional fortitude, making it an inspiring and comforting collection for all.
