The Birth of Love. Vol.1 Is the first in a series of modern Sonnet Collections, both inspired by and paying homage to, the Shakespearean style. Written with all the dauntless authority and passion that only a burgeoning young poet could muster, these works display the sheer turmoil of a speaker being consumed by young love. Crafted to explore the brilliant and terrible reaches of Love, in all its many forms, these Sonnets speak powerfully from the painful perspective of youth and meditate on love's many contradictions.

From the purity of a first love, to the tragedies of loss. From the fears of rejection, to the hope of acceptance. From the doubts found in distance to the unyielding surety of true love. These poems reflect a speaker at war with himself, as he grapples with mankind's deepest and most complex emotion.

At the forefront of this collection of 50 Sonnets are a set of warring themes, which include, Religion and Freedom, Depression and Self-Acceptance, Companionship and Isolation, and Hope and Loss. These, discussed within a framework of overarching themes such as Death and Time, are explored fearlessly through the Sonnet form. These ever-relevant poetic themes, tackled through a combination of one of the most influential classical forms, and a brand-new poetic voice, are re-imagined and updated for a modern audience. Wearing there influences on their sleeve, these poems offer new perspectives on the ever-changing landscape of love poetry, representing a first step for a new voice on the journey of life and love.
