This book contains mature themes and strong violence. If you are below 15 years of age, we recommend you do not continue reading. ______________________ A compilation of poems I have made throughout the year, comprised of my thoughts and mental state over the days, from love to lust, darkness to doomed, this is truly some Madvillainy. ______________________ Over the course of 2023, a select group of young writers was invited to take part in a year-long writing program at Story Factory. Their goal was to produce a collection of poetry. This is one of the collections produced in these workshops. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body. This project has been supported by the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund. We would like to thank Midland Typesetters for generously typesetting these manuscripts. Thanks also to the poets who visited the workshops and shared their knowledge and passion: BEA, Eileen Chong, Jazz Money and Omar Sakr.
