The Actual is a powerful collection of poetry that explores themes of empire, racism, injustice, and toxic masculinity through personal and political lenses. Written spontaneously on the author's phone, the poems blend polemic, resistance, and dream-like imagery to challenge hero culture and confront global legacies of oppression. With raw energy and vivid expression, the book invites readers to examine the world with clarity and immediacy.
