“Open a window to let the light fall in.
Age it with saffron.”
Elemental is a unique collection of poetry by Benjamin J. Kearney. Its 32 pieces tell the story of a young writer’s journey of discovery exploring the emotive territory of youth through the themes of fear and anxiety, love and death, hope and compassion.
