Underpinned by a love of music, language and literature, here is a powerful exploration of race, identity and masculinity, celebrating what it means to be British and not British, all at once.

It is derived from real-world situations, and kind TAs who helped me pass classes. The road from wanting to be an engineer to becoming one is long; this audiobook describes my incomplete journey.

It is as elusive as a dream, like the changes of the season. Poetry isn’t always what it seems. It can be a way to vent, an escape from reality, when nothing makes sense.
