euphorically chaotic dystopias: A Collection of Poems

Released in 2022, euphorically chaotic dystopias was my second collection of poetry to be published in the global market.

This collection explores a persona's intrapersonal development as they experience interpersonal relationships (platonic and romantic). The story takes readers on a journey through the mind of an individual who sorts through each relationship experience, processing situations and emotions throughout the seasons, and making calculated decisions on how to move forward with the connected parties.

Readers can actively note mental and emotional development in the persona, as they move from seasons in which the individual is surrounded moreso by negative relationships at the beginning, then into a place where they eventually learn to take control, set boundaries, and actively make decisions to protect their peace and establish healthier relationships.

If I could summarise this collection into just a few words, I would describe it as "a story of growth and a movement towards better overall mental and emotional health in relationships with others, as wellbeing in relationships begins with wellbeing of the mind."
