In a world where a small, meaningless or enigmatic jotting on social media counts as poetry, who will be capable or brave enough to harken back to more romantic, stylized, and rigorous forms of poetry that we all came to love when studying the classics? This poet has endeavored to do just that: keep poetry romantic, meaningful, and concerned with noble topics while retaining the ability to be relatable and accessible. He explains his poetic mission in the very first poem of this exciting volume.
