Laced with new artistic works, and deeper insights into his mind, Poems from Quarantine marks a compelling return from Allen.
Throughout Allen’s first collection, The Thirteenth Circle, many stories were shared about the nature of the poems within and the experiences that birthed them. Poems from Quarantine seeks to continue that narrative. Containing 70 more original poems, Allen returns in true form with his latest collection. Filled with deep metaphor, autobiographical excerpts, and provocative artwork, Allen continues to guide the reader through his mind along the way. Each piece within represents a new, as well as familiar, facet of Allen’s views on topics such as Love, Faith, finding a Sense of Self, and Society as a whole, during one of the most volatile times in recent history.
Editorial Review
"A collection interweaving vivid, purposeful imagery with thought-provoking pieces of artwork...Allen’s overarching structure is tremendous. The poetry and artwork lead wonderfully into the next." - Kristiana Reed MyScreamingTwenties
