About this ebook
A beautiful collection of poems about the highs and lows of one week in a secondary school, where everything happens all at once.
Winner of the CLiPPA poetry award.
Zooming in across our cast of characters, we share moments that span everything from hoping to make it to the end of the week, facing it, fitting in, finding friends and falling out, to loving lessons, losing it, and worrying, wearing it well and worshipping from afar.
In Everything All At Once, Steven Camden's poems speak to the kaleidoscope of teen experience and life at secondary school.
'All together. Same place.
Same walls. Same space.
Every emotion
under the sun
Faith lost. Victories won.
It doesn't stop. Until the bell.
Now it's heaven
Now it's hell.
Who knows?
Not me
I just wrote what I can see
So what's it about? Here's my response
It's about everything
All at once.'
