"A hero or a villain
To them it’s black or white
You’re a spectrum of a person
And none of them are right"
Alex's Spilled Ink is a compilation of Alex's poems, divided into three parts: heaven, earth and hell.
Heaven. Dip your hands in the warm, crystal water and reach for the words at the bottom of the lake. Inspiration. Hope. Love. Which will you take?
Earth. Keep your feet on the ground but look up towards the sky. What do you see? The moon, the stars, life passing by?
Hell. Fire burns but so does passion. You fight your battles and sometimes you lose. Hurt. Pain. Grief. Keep on fighting, there's no excuse.
Book
A poetry e-book titled "Alex's Spilled Ink" on Amazon Kindle, written under the pseudonym Alex Oliveira.
Book Reviews
I wrote honest reviews on Goodreads of advanced reading copies, provided by Netgalley and A Novel Take PR
Rewind is more than a book about two people who have found each other again. It's also a book that shines a light on issues such as homophobia, biphobia, and on how ignorant some of us are when it comes to the deaf community. (...)
Ben and Milo's relationship felt very realistic to me. Most importantly - those characters behave like someone their age would. An older brother who worries and has romantic issues. A younger brother who is always bickering and has problems that teenagers don't want to admit to that they have.
It seems the author cherry picked philosophical teenagers and put them together to create this story, making it so darn quotable. It is, however, quite relatable to those who are also going through the same struggles as the main characters.
