A cross between macabre and wistful, Barbour's debut poetry book will resonate with readers who seek a blunt and provoking portrayal of a soul on edge.

Revealed in four chapters, each works together to form a cohesive narrative. The book opens with Mad & Manic, bringing readers into a chaotic and frenzied state of mind, capturing the raw emotions of lunacy and rage, exploring the darker side of the human psyche and the struggle to keep a grip on one's own reality.

Creation & Cosmology shifts focus to the ethereal, the fight for faith, and the creation of our universe from both the cosmological and theological viewpoint, marrying God and Science as harmonious, rather than opposing.

Honey & Heartache navigates the bittersweet nature of love and loss, focusing on the limitations of oneself, as well as the intricacies of our relationships with parents, friends, and partners.

Retribution & Reward brings the story to a close by addressing themes of redemption, the pursuit of justice, and the rewards of self-perseverance. This sections offers a sense of closure and hope, illustrating the transformative power of audacious tenacity.
