Sleeping in on School Days is a journey in poetry through the realities faced by a young man of this generation. Adult and teen issues are brought to light with the harsh language of reality, but presented as they are experienced—in a state of awe. At times melancholy and nostalgic, other times harsh, cynical, and all-too-real, Sleeping in on School Days shows the range of experiences that are now common for the average teenager. All the faults that reveal our humanity, or lack thereof—child and domestic abuse, poverty, mental illness, teen pregnancy, drug abuse and recovery—are shown here. Sleeping in on School Days is sure to leave the reader shocked and reluctant to turn the other cheek.
