"Melancholic and Other Poems" is a powerful debut collection by Nicholas Kyle Edwards that invites readers into a profound exploration of the complexities of mental health, particularly as experienced by adolescents. Through a strikingly unique freestyle form, this collection consists of twelve thought-provoking pieces that delve into themes of despair, vulnerability, and the human condition.
This collection is not just a reflection on pain; it is a journey towards understanding and acceptance. Each piece serves as a mirror, allowing readers to confront their own experiences while finding solace in shared emotion. Whether through poignant imagery or evocative prose, Edwards's work compels us to confront the delicate balance of light and darkness within us all.

Avaz is a poetry book dedicated to love, i.e. disappointment with the fragments that love can leave us as a legacy, but it is also directed towards warm emotions towards dear people without whom one cannot live.. Thus, the author, guided by the youthful poetic arm of the male-female poetic dialogue, balances the conflict between these two opposing camps.. Her poetry is sometimes inspired by the philosophical questions of the existence of Pandora's boxes in each of us, and sometimes they are just short notes, lines, dashes caught in the passage of time around space.
An immigrant girl ponders the life she hopes she has yet to live. Ponders the family she shared no blood with. Ponders the people she'd give her blood to. Ponders the universe she's been born into.
