TWITCHLAND

by Pyrink perfectly complement the story’s thematic impact (their utilization of contrasting color, in particular, is noteworthy). Scenes in the local doughnut shop, for example, are depicted in vibrant yellows, pinks, and oranges while sequences at the nuclear reactor site and in shadowy back alleys feature unnatural greens and purples. Lastly, the (timely) subject of the country’s drug overdose epidemic was woven into the storyline with an interesting supernatural twist, and Richland itself was based on the real city of Richland with its dark history."

About This Book

THE BEHIND: PAINED MASK is a remarkable collection of poems that has been thoughtfully crafted over an impressive span of eighteen years. Life, in its myriad forms, doesn't always unfold in an uplifting manner when we are deeply affected by the repercussions of our own actions. However, it is precisely in the way we engage with the often challenging space of consequence-ing that we uncover our potential for profoundness-or perhaps, we do not. This poignant book of poetry, titled THE BEHIND: PAIN

Our Review

This powerful poetry collection explores the raw terrain of consequence and self-reflection through verse that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. The poems navigate the complex aftermath of choices and the difficult spaces where we confront our own actions, offering readers a mirror to examine their own moments of profound realization or uncertainty. With language that cuts straight to the emotional core, these pieces don't shy away from life's more challenging passages yet maintain a compelling readability that keeps you turning pages.

What distinguishes this work is its remarkable eighteen-year gestation period, suggesting each poem has been refined through lived experience and careful revision. Teen readers navigating their own complex emotional landscapes will find validation in these honest explorations of cause and effect, while the collection's thematic depth provides rich material for classroom discussion and personal reflection. The result is a body of work that lingers long after the final page, offering not answers but meaningful companionship through life's inevitable struggles.
