Anhedonia is a poetry collection by Cameron Gainley, about growing up in a world where lust is easy, but meaning is hard to find. It follows a young man navigating the chaos of desire, the thrill of indulgence, and the quiet emptiness that lingers after. Sex is a lesson, love is a ghost, and the search for something real feels endless.

Each piece peels back the layers of youth-reckless nights, whispered lies, bodies that come and go, and the slow realization that pleasure doesn't always bring happiness. It's about the tension between wanting and feeling nothing, between chasing and never catching, between being young and feeling lost.

For those who have stumbled through love, lust, and loneliness, Anhedonia is a raw confession of growing up, giving in, and wondering if there's ever more than this.
