Into the Eye

This is my debut poetry collection that introduces who I am as a poet, as an artist, and as a human being. I wrote this entire collection in the span of two weeks during Hurricane Harvey. There are high school experiences, college experiences, and experiences I've had as a twenty-four-year-old young man. I was inspired by the chaos and confusion that was manifesting both within my mind and externally around me. This book starts with the poem "Status Quo I," which expresses the turbulent mess that I started off in, and ends with "Status Quo II," a state of peace that I reached as my mind wandered "Into the Eye" of my life's hurricane. It's a stormy path that leads to a dark cave, into dark waters, and onto dry land. There is a whirlwind mess that leads to clarity. This book is how I discovered what it means to go from a boy to a man. I'm excited for you all to read this and get to know me. I'm Scott Hill and this is my coming-of-age story.
