The Butterfly King and Other Poems for Self-Reflection


Book Description

The Butterfly King and Other Poems for Self Reflection rings clear with purpose - and is filled with poetry steeped in the act of self-reflection. Centered around the titular heroic epic poem, which is written entirely in rhyming couplets - the book is furthered broken down into several different sections, including nature and society, individual self-reflection, as well as love and sexuality. The poems within are designed to be poignant pauses in a chaotic world, a world often filled with fear, doubt, or injustice. This book should resonate with any who have taken the time to reflect on the world, either through lenses of light/dark, bad/good, or even self/other.
