The Second

This is Shannon Kelley's second collection of poetry. It is a six-month follow-up to her first collection. The first collection Ser focused on the macaronic style of poetry which took the author ten years to create and then publish. She described it as a reflection of educational background, life experienced, and global politics in the world during the early 21st century. The Second is an emotional sequel to Ser, and it also includes some poems written in the macaronic style of poetry writing. This book is more direct in its manner of emotional philosophy and compels to unravel topics that once perplexed us but are now found in the ease of sophisticated profanity.
