His disdain for conventional poetic tropes is evident in poems like </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Boring Poetry</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> where he dismisses cliché subjects in favor of gritty realism.

This collection is best suited for readers who appreciate poetry that doesn't shy away from controversy emotion or social commentary.</span></p><p></p>
