Barely Amazing by Shane Koyczan
Barely Amazing by Shane Koyczan
In this collection, Shane skillfully takes the readers on a trek through deserts of loneliness, labyrinths of loss, and meadows of healing.
The landscapes of our emotions range from the perilous to the serene, and these poems become a companion, a confidant, a source of solace, and a survival guide for the reader.
Shane's unique voice weaves humor and storytelling into his verses. With levity as a setup for power, each poem promises to take you on a
zipline of emotions, leaving you both laughing and reflecting on life's miracles. While the freefall through our emotions may at times feel like a hazard, Shane creates a place to land safely without having to sacrifice the impact created by their velocity. These works are flint and tinder, wrestling as a tag team against the cold and dark we sometimes find ourselves lost in.
The works contained within do not tell us where to dig for the buried treasure of our hearts... they remind us that the treasure does in fact exist, and they lay bare what is amazing about what our hearts can endure.

As always, amazing and moving. Inspirational and wickedly witty.
It's the maestro. Shane Koyzcan. Of course it's f**king good. 😍
I've always listened to Shane on YouTube and various other media types when I could find them...to be holding his work and be able to read them is so amazing. Bonus that there are a few I hadn't heard/read yet and a few I know by heart which were changed for the audio recording, which I find pretty cool. one of my favorite purchases lately. his work is such a guiding light for me in hard times..
The soul shown in the words in this anthology show a kindness and compassion one can only aspire to. Thrilled to have this as part of my collection, and it will be regularly visited.
