What Hides in the Closet?: A Poetry Anthology

"Oh! The God-Awful Fees / There's the soul tax, the heart tax, the mind tax, the body tax; as if my / being was born in a cargo boat while the villagers scream 'Tax him!' / 'Yes! He is the one we should blame!'"

- American Family

Sometimes, a work takes every piece of you in order to produce. This is what Bartlett's debut poetry collection has cost. Through his striking poetry style that makes you feel as though you are being torn apart, Bartlett contemplates themes such as death and sexuality, which he compares as one and the same. Using influences from past and present, he concocted a perfect storm of teenage angst and sadness that will claw at the heart strings of its readers.
