Poetry For Teens

Em Todas as coisas que eu te escreveria se pudesse, Igor fala sobre amor, amar e deixar ir, ser intenso e abraçar a sua intensidade. Sobre dizer e sentir tudo sem gaguejar. Sobre enfrentar a dor e aceitar que a cura é um processo contínuo, imprevisível, não linear. Escrita durante a pandemia, a obra é uma coleção de textos poéticos sobre todas as impressões que ficam quando alguém vai embora – ainda que esse alguém seja você mesmo.

An achingly beautiful collection of poems about one week in a secondary school where everything happens all at once. Zooming in across our cast of characters, we share moments that span everything from hoping to make it to the end of the week, facing it, fitting in, finding friends and falling out to loving lessons, losing it, and worrying, wearing it well and worshipping from afar. In Everything All At Once, Steven Camden's poems speak to the kaleidoscope of teen experience and life at 'big school'.

I was 17 when my mum died from breast cancer. At that time, and for a period afterwards, I wasn't able to express myself verbally, so I turned to writing. It was cathartic, though I never had the courage to share what I wrote, let alone attempt to publish my work. I wouldn't claim to be a poet, or a writer, however, 20 years on, I feel ready to share. My hope is that these poems, written while I was still a teenager, will inspire, as well as be understood, whichever way you interpret them.
