Description of the Book:
Fear and Desire dictate our lives, seemingly walking hand-in-hand.
As the world can be confronting and full of Terror, Chris Baterna's poetry delves into the ever-present Fears driving each experience - and gradually explores Fears' counterpart of Desire in its latter half. The stream-of-conscious-led poems ask the author's life-long concerns, questions, and terrors over the course of 21 days.
A diverse, intimate, and honest demonstration of an anxious mind in shaping: And I am Terrified approaches ideas of morality, isolation, family, loss, faith and growing pains, through introspective and fragile thoughts.
And I am Terrified
Author's Name: Chris Baterna About the Author: The author is terrified of the world. Seeking to reconcile this Terror with purpose, Chris Baterna turns to the inspiration of bearded philosophers, Japanese existentialists, and the selfless affection of two Filipino immigrant parents. With a passion for global literature, philosophy, and pedagogy, the author has pursued literary and historical studies at the University of Sydney, and currently works towards a Masters of Education - to make the world a little less terrifying to the next generation of poets.
