The Anthem Collection

The Anthem Collection explores the mind of poet and spoken word artist Christian "Anthem" Wills. Anthem's first poetry collection takes inspiration from pieces written and revised from his start as an artist and teenage years in the mid 2010s. Growing into his own accord, Anthem captures moments in times that embrace positive and negative aspects of everyday life. The book touches on themes of human struggle, imagination and progress through the use of over fifty poems in the span of six categories. From stages and chapters of early and college life, to pandemic woes and coming of age scenarios, each poem bridges a gap to readers and shines a light of reflections and relatability. Many themes aim to penetrate the surface of light and contentious topics in various artistic depictions. The words within the pages help to create a world of simultaneous vulnerability and strength for many readers to enjoy. Read more
