Recovering Arcadia: A Poetic Awakening & Dark Journey to the Self

By Maddison Gibbons

"Recovering Arcadia" presents mature themes of the psyche and the daunting process of self-growth through poetry. This book takes the reader on a journey through three pervasive sections, "Into the Graves," "Gathering the Self," and "Persistent Manifestation." Packed with over 60+ long and short poems, "Recovering Arcadia" exposes the maturation of inner dialogue, from cynical and brooding, to hopeful and sanguine. Gibbons aspires the reader reclaim their own inner harmony by investigating the complexities of one's own mind and restoring their true peaceful nature. "Recovering Arcadia" delivers elegant word play and vocabulary, through rhyme and other modes of inspired expression. Poems such as "Dangerous Playground," "My Weakness," and "Transcend" offer a beautifully curated sense of perception, belonging, and existential beauty in the earthly experience. "Recovering Arcadia" is a poetic journey that will be a part of the reader, even after it is put down.
