Soms lijkt de school wel een leerfabriek,

dan ben je vast ook graag eens ziek,

maar al is dat leren niet altijd zo fijn,

toch kan de school ook wel eens grappig zijn

Aftermath is a charming and beautiful written collection by a new up-and-coming poet.

Do I contradict myself?Very well then I contradict myself. (I am large, I contain multitudes.)Abundant, ecstatic, generous, courageous - this is the first American epic poem, a celebration of selfhood and a catalogue of nineteenth-century American life of all ages and races.

About the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femininity.The book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose. Deals with a different pain.

Originally from the mountainous Lemko region in Poland, where a variant of Ukrainian is spoken, he was home-schooled for the first eleven years of his life until 1920 when he entered the Queen Sophia State Gymnasium in Syanok, which he completed eight years later.
