The Undisputed Greatest Writer of All Time - Paperback

by Beau Sia (Author)

Driven by the unguaranteed nature of life, the author's poetry bursts with the urgency to understand, the hunger to explore and to attack what prevents us from having full lives.

The first book of poetry by Beau Sia in over 13 years, this work is the reflection of the child no longer at the mercy of his childishness, a boy who will not break his father to be a man, and a poet whose words are icebergs.
