Black as Night is not a book for the light hearted. It is a book of uncomfortable truths, and brutal honesty of the human condition. It speaks about topics such as self-harm, suicide, and self-hatred. It shows hope, and it shows hell. It is difficult, but necessary. Throughout the poems, there are ups and downs, light and dark, but like all things, the pages flip, the cover closes, and it all comes to an end eventually.
