Ankle Deep: Selected Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183645316)

Sometimes the most profound moments happen when you are just testing the waters.

In Ankle Deep: Selected Poems, Anthony Juan Farrior explores the delicate, often overwhelming currents of life, love, and emotional vulnerability. From the majestic fear of the sweeping ocean to the quiet beauty of a sunlit lake, Farrior uses rich, natural imagery to navigate the complexities of the human heart.

Whether examining the joyous certainty of a romantic promise, the painful boundaries of remaining "just friends," or the sharp, lingering sting of fading memories, this collection offers a raw and relatable journey through the landscapes of intimacy and introspection.

Originally published in 1996, this revitalized republication brings a classic 90s poetry collection to a modern audience. Decades later, the sentiments-of lost love, chivalry, inner strength, and blooming relationships-remain as timeless and deeply resonant as ever.

Step onto the sand, feel the brush of the waves, and let yourself get Ankle Deep.

Inside this collection, you will find verses exploring:

• The Tides of Love: The joy of finding "the one" and the courage it takes to try again.

• Heartbreak & Healing: Navigating the painful transitions from lovers to friends, and finding the strength to weather "cloudy days."
