Publisher's Synopsis
Love, nature, emotions, and the ocean; even poetry itself. These are among the themes found in the pages of poetry in The Gardens That Were. This book is compiled of about six years of poetry, ranging from late 2011 to late 2017 and documents author Aaron Michael Lynn's relationship with himself, the women who come and go in his life, and the natural world around him. "I find poetry, and writing in general, to be an easier way to express the things that I am too scared to actually say or admit. I try to write the advice that I need to hear myself, and admit the truths that my mind is too stubborn to say aloud." Honest and rhythmic, these poems are relatable for those who feel deeply and think positively.
