    About this ebook

    The Strength It Takes to Stay Afloat is a collection of poems dealing with love, loss, anger, self-image, dreams, catharsis, and much more. With a range of characters and historical contexts, this collection is a panoramic set of perspectives and landscapes, of eyes and mirrors. From the eruption of Krakatoa to the Battle of Trafalgar, The Strength It Takes to Stay Afloat weaves together a vicious and beautiful tapestry of joy and pain.
