In the opening stanzas of The Groundwork of Realization, we are introduced to our protagonist : the young artist yearning to be heard and struggling to realize his true potential but very much lost in the ways of man.

The path to maturity isnt an easy one. Journeying from hollow ground to higher ground, the young artist must strive for self-realization.

In this short collection of poetry, Thorne McFarlane reflects on life, truth, and purpose while weaving a coming-of-age tale of a young mans transformation from despair and disillusionment to hope and clarity.
