Tangerine: Or, How I Learned to Trust the Process

"It was a project I've always wanted to do, but I never had the courage or found the time to attempt it... But when we were locked down at the start of the year, I started to go through all of my journals I've written in for the past five years and found so much material. So I started to compile all of the good ones, sent some off to magazines and kept some for myself. That's how it started." Adolescence is a painfully awkward, angsty and confusing period in our lives. This is a time where most of us fall in love for the first time, question our place in the universe and figure out who we want to be. Underpinned by a love of music, language and philosophy, Joey Groves' sensational debut explores the journey through adolescence; sharing his intimate relationship with anxiety and the small triumphs of growth and change.Written between the ages of fifteen and twenty, TANGERINE: OR, HOW I LEARNED TO TRUST THE PROCESS is a collection of poetry and prose about exuberant love, despair and growing pains.
