'THE THINGS THEY'VE NEVER SEEN' - 2023 RE-ISSUE
"COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN"
What a talented young writer. The author speaks, giving insight into his world with intellect, honesty and empathy. It almost reads like a throwback to the days of confessional poetry, as a young man stands tall in a world of stigma and ignorance. Thought provoking lines and triggers with themes full of mood and tone that are as brutal as they are clever. I genuinely couldn’t put it down once I had started reading.
"POETRY BOOK OF THE YEAR"
Amazing, Jacob has such a talent for writing poetry and his book deserves as much recognition as it can possibly get. Definitely recommend!
"EYE-OPENING"
Jacob writes like a messenger about the devils that live with us.
"CRAFTED TO PERFECTION"
This book is an exquisite collection of poetry, written by such a young talent. Each poem guides you through a new story with new emotions and real thought. The book is amazing, and crafted to perfection.
"MORE THAN JUST A POETRY BOOK"
This book is more than a collection of poems written by a 17 year old. It is a book that holds raw emotion in such a powerful way. Even the introduction is strong enough to leave you thinking about it for days. The beauty of it is that every poem will mean something different to each person. Join the countless others who are pouring over the pages and take a chance on this book.
