Review\n"As its title clearly states, Stages of a Scattered Mess is an attempt to make sense of something which at first sight appears confusing to everyone: the sentimental chaos of being a teenager. Young adult poet Patrick Johns looks back on his own past, and maybe on the actual poetry he wrote then, and recasts both as an adult should: both preserving the flavour of those too early, maybe immature approaches to the examination of his own feelings and giving them the edge, the exactness, the second-thought touch of mature writing. An exciting first poetry book which inaugurates a poetry-writing career (Johns is already an accomplished novelist) which will be worth following." -José Manuel Benítez Ariza, Spanish author of Los extraños\nReflecting on past relationships, this poetry collection tells the story of a boy’s journey encountering the sentimental chaos of being a teenager.\nFocusing on poems of infatuation, love, and disillusion, Stages of a Scattered Mess will have every hopeless romantic reminiscing on what could have been. These poems are for those who have loved, for those who have committed, and for those who have lost it all. Patrick Johns’s raw emotions allow readers to reconnect with their past relationships and put together the missing pieces. This is a story of young love and hopeless futures, but more importantly, a story of apprehension and growth.
