What is this book about?
My late teenage years were an emotional train wreck, and lucky for me, they’re all fully documented. Graffiti is my debut poetry collection written between ages sixteen and nineteen. When I need to tell people what it’s about, I say it’s a personal account of adolescence and maturation – which it is – but mostly, it’s about life and death and love and change, because that’s all I could think about during that time. It’s also about moles. Graffiti was awarded as a Goodreads Choice Awards finalist in poetry.
