Finding Nectar Within My Poison Faisal Hassan Nazir

This book is a collection of poetry, enriched with emotion, realness and the feel of home. A collection that travels through different various chapters and themes, from real world issues to personal conflictions that any ordinary teen/young adult can relate to. It opens up into taboo topics such as feminism and mental health, suicide and the ongoing migrant crisis, the things we are too afraid to speak of. The poet also engages with his audience by including exercises, allowing them to write down emotions and prayers, making this book so much more personal, almost a part of them. The poet has amassed a following of over 40,00 over his last two and a half years writing poetry on Instagram, whilst fighting mental health diseases as well as the everyday battle of being a growing teenager in this conflicting world. The poetry ranged from short and sweet to long and intricate.
