"It's funny how time can be such a thief
When I'm grieving people who are still alive
But no longer are to me"

- an excerpt from "Inside Joke", Internal Echoes


In her debut poetry collection, Bethany Shelton explores themes such as the passage of time, the destructive nature of mankind, friendship, love and more. The poems are carefully selected from all of the poetry she has written throughout her later teenage years and early twenties as a way to make sense of her reality and experiences. She hopes that others can relate and feel seen and understood through her work.
