Tomorrow's Feast cover

This poetry collection reflects on hope and resilience amidst adversity, showcasing the challenges faced by the next generation in Tomorrow's Feast.

In Tomorrow's Feast, the poet explores the juxtaposition of beauty and despair in a world marked by hunger and violence. The collection opens with a poignant reflection on the small comforts that endure amidst chaos, capturing the essence of human resilience. The poet expresses relief at finding moments of grace, such as a mother’s annual offerings, which serve as a reminder of hope and continuity in the face of adversity.

As the collection unfolds, the poet delves into the complexities of legacy and the burdens carried by the next generation. Each poem resonates with a profound sense of responsibility, highlighting the interconnections between personal experiences and broader societal issues. Through a variety of poetic forms, including a contemporary retelling of Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the poet confronts themes of displacement and survival, particularly in the context of the refugee crisis.

Ultimately, Tomorrow's Feast is both a tribute to youth and a call to action. It encourages readers to reflect on their roles within the 'terrible chain' of humanity, urging a deeper understanding of our shared struggles. This collection is a testament to the power of poetry to illuminate the darkest corners of our existence while celebrating the enduring spirit of hope and connection.
