The Beauty within the Vessel

By Matthew A. Williams


​​I was once told that poetry was dead or, at best, on a respirator clinging onto dear life. If that is the truth, then this book will be the defibrillator, poetry the patient and I the doctor. The Beauty within the Vessel: Poetry from a Troubled Youth is a book of poetry written as I navigated my senior year through college. As you take this journey into my world, you will read poems about my experiences trying to find purpose in life: negotiating relationships, transitions, loss, faith and the ultimate struggle of becoming an “adult.”
