Sweating in the sun. Cracked, dry earth. Sudden thunderstorms. Colossal downpours. The height of summer's heat followed by a crash.
Sunburnt days Sunburnt Nights is the third book in the Seasons poetry series by Justin Farley. It pairs deep nature poetry about the natural world with raw, firsthand reflections on mental health. This volume examines the neurodivergent mind through bipolar disorder (mania and hypomania in particular) and partially through ADHD. It also celebrates nature during the season of summer and offers a framework of what we have lost in our technological world. These poems pulse with the warmth of sunshine and the overexposure of internal chaos. You'll find poems about the growth of the forest and the wonder of nature's beauty alongside deep, soulful verses that explore mania and hypomania euphoria. Poems about creativity and the artist's bliss. But you'll also find haunting, lyrical poems of identity loss, frustration, distraction, and the fall after mania that wounds the soul when it gets too close to the sun. In this poetry collection, you'll find:
- Seasonal nature poetry with spiritual undertones
- Mental health poems about bipolar disorder, mania, creativity, depression, and ADHD
- Rhythmic, lyrical poetry that features both structured and free verse poems.
- A lament over what we're losing in our advanced, technological world
In these woods, you feel primitive, simplistically full
with the gifts nature gives unceasingly.
Grounded to the earth.
Rooted to a harmony we've lost.
No screens to steal the attention of the mind.
Here, you're fully in tune with the miraculous,
boundless experience of being alive. - From Simplistically FullHow do you reconcile this ill-fated profile
of prolonged sadness, brief genius, then utter madness--
the toxic triplets in this
troublesome triad of mental illness
that's contagious enough to spread
itself across all directions,
breaking through all the doors of the mind? - From Living Life As Hecate
