“Some Days Less Human” is a collection of poetry that combines many aspects of the struggles of being a “twenty-something” trying to figure everything out with no idea what you’re doing. You’ve had your first love, you’ve made up your mind about what you want to be, kind of, and you know you need to cut back on the alcohol and focus on the future. You’re caught between the responsibilities of adulthood and the suddenly soul-crushing realization you can’t go backwards and change the past. No matter how difficult it all seems, childhood is over. You have to do something with your life.

After traveling the United States, going overseas, and working countless positions trying to decide what in the world could make any want to grow up, author and poet Adam Christopher Wade delves into the heart of who he is, what he went through, and he doesn’t hold back. Through free verse poetry he tells the story of his experiences as a wanderer, a dreamer, and a self-proclaimed nobody.

The poems in this book are not organized or in chronological order.

When a box of hundreds of pieces of writing once believed to be lost forever was found, the author decided that there was no reason to attempt to organize the madness. In his own words, Wade says;

“There is a sort of, ‘a friendly chaos,’ when you turn the page and don’t know what emotion you’ll experience next, what fresh darkness someone has left for you to devour. The fact that I took the time to make a Table of Contents almost feels disingenuous to me. You shouldn’t know what is coming next, not when you’re looking to step out of reality and into someone else’s world.”

Poetry has many forms. It has many styles. And it answers to no one.
