My Sweet Melancholia is Brutus D'Angelo's second full-length poetry book. My Sweet Melancholia discusses the disappointments and struggles of everyday life. The way in which one almost has to go through the world white-knuckled in order to survive. They talk about how, when everything seems to wear and grind you down, you have to keep wearing yourself out until there is nothing left. The poetry seems to reach out from the pages to touch you and give you the good pat on the back that you needed.
