The Bright and Bold

By Jayden Lee

The Bright and Bold is a heart-wrenchingly poetic eulogy for every passerby, dead or alive.

Author of A Memoriam of Inner Thoughts I Thought Would Die With Me, Writings by Tears & Candlelight, Seasons in Another Language, and Under Moonlight, Jayden Lee presents a familiar journal-like cathartic work, that is, The Bright and Bold.

"To loathe the rose encased in glass is to despise the flesh protecting your heart."

Returning to their roots, Lee curates an eerie plane of existential existence between feeling alive and death, stanza by stanza. Writing tales that encapsulates dread, fear, love, grief, and more.

From Lee's perspective, to fictional character's, the storytelling is just as devastating and illustrative as previous works. Lee delves into the deranged, love-sick, and mentally ill minds of their characters and presents it in such a way that they become real. With a handful of illustrations done, curated by Lee, that same ambition is continued.

"I'd like for The Bright & Bold to be seen as a love letter to everyone I hold dear, everyone I've ever lost in some way, every version of me I've grown out of, and every character I decided to make feel real."
