Poem

Poem is the ninth book of poetry in Benjamin Campbells 13books series. Charting a range of topics throughout the year these books aim to capture a slice of modern life. In this collection the poetry turns introspective: these poems are about their own creation the effects they have on their creators and consumers and the very idea of writing. Interspersed with this is a conversation on the power of poetry and the many useful - and useless - things it can do from an expression of love to a force of destruction. No matter the purpose though one thing is always clear: poetry and its power are some of the most curious and indefinable aspects of our lives.
