Drunk Love Sober Death: Poetry by Jade Jackson

Drunk Love Sober Death is a journey; at times whimsical, at others gripping but always real.

It's comprised of over 100 poems, songs and micro stories that will stick with you, long after you've flipped over the last page. 


Steven G from Weekend Notes said, "as a poetry collection, this is really strong. It is emotional, raw at times, heartfelt often, and touches on many themes that could well be considered universal. Thoroughly recommended."


----------

"You could plant flowers, succulents or shrubs,

you could grow cotton, lamb or wear hijabs.


We're all the same once we're dead.


The end is but a minute passing,

an hour gone

without a breath, a heartbeat or a blink."


An extract from 'With each heavy breath' from Drunk Love Sober Death by Jade Jackson.

About the Author

Jade Jackson is an Author, Podcaster and Photographer, based in the Blue Mountains, Australia. He's published a play, Compass, along with a novella, a book of poetry, Drunk Love Sober Death, and he's also written hundreds of travel articles. Jade lost all his original writings in a house fire. He then lost several backup hard drives in a lightening strike and is forever grateful to whoever invented 'the cloud'. He produces three podcasts, Jade Talks Travel, Jade Talks Cheap Flights and Jade Talks Stuff. Travel and Poetry drive's him, and he loves the sound of words, often combining foreign words or phrases in his everyday speech because they are more pleasing to the ear than their English equivalents. He's ever searching for that one place to call home, yet he is at home, anywhere. You can find more of his works and connect with him via his website at https://jadejackson.com.au.
