Colin Osborn I Choose the Ryhmes
Colin Osborn
I Choose the Rhymes, In his fabulous debut collection, poet Colin B Osborn presents a vibrant and introspective exploration of voice, choice, and the power of language to shape our world. The title itself serves as a guiding principle for the collection, suggesting a deliberate act of finding harmony, beauty, and meaning amidst the noise of modern life.
Osborn poetry navigates the landscapes of personal history and keen observation with a lyrical and accessible style. These poems are a testament to self-discovery, celebrating the moments—both quiet and profound—where we define our own narratives. For lovers of contemporary poetry that is both thoughtful and resonant, is a compelling and masterful first outing from a promising new voice.
