Ever since I read my first Edgar Allan Poe story I have been fascinated by darkness and horror. Further in life I began questioning moral, ethics and freedom, which led me to a profound interest towards sociology, philosophy, history and gruesome crime. In the search for my own freedom I began questioning the morals, ethics and norms that are given to us by different institutions: family, religions or the state. I wanted to learn about those that counteracted these norms, which led me to an interest towards everyone and everything which radically opposes these. I devoured Nietzsche, loved stories of serial murderers, read about psychological experiments attempting to define evil, Hannah Arendt lectures on evil and so on. I was captivated and through this I found my own authentic freedom. I am not a murderer, rapist, but an author with his own idea of morals, norms and ethics.
In the coming months I will publish two collections of poetry. One will be called “Existence and Death”, which is inspired by the existentialist philosophers and authors. The other collection will be a collection of political poems written in 2016-2017view less
