Author Biography

My name is Alexander Veneruso, a seventeen-year-old finishing my senior year in high school as of the publishing of this collection. I am a proud geek, spending much of my time playing or designing games of all descriptions, and run a Minecraft role-play server - How much geekier can you get? The majority of my poems deal with my slow journey to adulthood, as I ask questions, ponder my past, and try to understand the world around me. I found that putting things down into words helped me think through these things, and before I knew it, I had well over a hundred poems completed. You'll learn a lot more about me from reading the contents of this book than I could ever tell you in this brief paragraph. I hope you find it to your liking.
