Poetry is the art of saying a lot using very few words. If you use Instagram and happen to like poetry, chances are that you’ve heard the name Atticus. The poet without a face. In this day and age of degeneracy where social media is used as a tool for attention-grabbing, a select few like Atticus still use it to share their soul beautifully through poetry. Inspiring and uplifting others. Here are some snippets from his work to nourish your soul.
