“Are you sob
Or are you laughter?
Oh how I worship the streets”
A collection of poems capturing the essence of a two year process of discovery. Gothic is an overture to city life, and a manifesto of self-empowerment. Inspired by the ruthlessness of nineteen, rattling train tracks, cars whizzing through wet streets, and the unending pavement. Taking blades from between their teeth and banning them to paper.
