By Twenty-five

That sweaty Sunday morning regret, the last words you speak with a dear friend, or even the taste left in your mouth after being held down between sheets - Nothing is off limits in Nathan Larsen's first work, "by twenty-five." With topics ranging from sexuality and adulthood to sleep paralysis and hallucinogens, the reader experiences a raw, non-chronological glimpse into the life of a young man, juggling the inevitable transition into adulthood with the nostalgia (and scars) from his past. Through mixed forms of poetry, Nathan challenges the modern expectations of young adults while recounting several dramatic, emotional, and even a few hilarious moments he's experienced before turning twenty-five.
