Beautifully Mixed-Up World — Amanda Clark

Beautifully Mixed Up World is a book of poetry that follows the author's second book, Flying Fall. Beginning her Senior year of college and ending shortly after graduation, Beautifully Mixed-Up World examines pressures of adulthood, lifetime goals, and the youthful desire to change the world. With graduation approaching, the author must face various decisions about life's direction, future plans, and the definition of happiness. Through these poetic works, Beautifully Mixed-Up World brings forth the typical graduate's fears about failure and lost direction while evoking memories from those who have already surpassed that critical time. Through this poetic diary, Clark leads us on a quest for completeness, self-reliance, and independence.
