A Blooming Compendium is more than just a collection of poetry, short stories, and philosophical dialogues. A Blooming Compendium represents nearly seven years of work that began with a heartbroken high school student deciding to write his first short story, only for him to begin writing poetry and another short story in college; and by the time he had become a young man, his love for writing had bloomed and had become something that the student never would've thought would happen. It represents a lost, heartbroken boy, finding his way through the thick woods that is life and coming out the other end a man, not shaped in the way the world wanted him to be but reshaped into the man he wanted to be. With over forty-two works of poetry, nine short stories, and five philosophical dialogues, A Blooming Compendium truly has something that everyone could enjoy. Whether you love history, romance, horror suspense, or philosophy, this work has it all, and it's eager to draw the reader into its many pages.
