In Violet Sorrows, Weston Newbell invites you to vindicate those feelings that too often end up buried down and covered up. Sorrow is a universal feeling that has been explored in art, poetry, and music for centuries and people have long searched for ways to cope and heal. Such was the case of Newbell. His sorrow in poetic form has been a means of healing for himself and to his community. This is his invitation to help people face the real pain we all feel and lament without shame.
Newbell's debut poetry book explores themes of isolation, depression, and broken heartedness. Refusing to hold back, his poetry displays a time of personal grievances with life, intermixed with poems that reflect on the rays of light that shine in during even the most trying of times.
