A poem

written across the span of ten years, through the lens of chronic depression and disillusionment, "a poem" is J.B. Alexander's exploration of the depth and breadth of love for self and other; sex and sensuality; love and lust; life, death, grief, and loss. this debut collection of poetry illuminates the dynamism and resilience of the spirit and the meaning and purpose of a poem in navigating the seasons of life.
