Basil Hallward's Conscience

This book is a collection of angsty poems written between August 2011 and September 2013 by a displaced young North Carolinian under an inconspicuous pseudonym. Explored within are themes such as mental illness, alcoholism, lucid dreams, homelessness, military deployment, suicidality, divorce, dystopian love, and other existentialist pitter-patter. Originally published in 2013, this third edition was released immediately following the author's release from prison and subsequently a mental hospital in 2017. This is the final edition. Contained within are illustrations previously unreleased by the author.
