Walking Towards The Noise

Get ready to be swept away in a raw and powerful collection of modern poetry. "Walking Toward The Noise" by Bowie is a journey through life's complexities, inspired by the likes of Charles Bukowski, Sylvia Plath, Rupi Kaur, Sarah Kane, and Ted Hughes.

As the words on the page come to life, the setting shifts from gritty city streets to quiet, contemplative moments in nature. Through it all, we follow the main character, a complex and relatable individual navigating the ups and downs of life.

But just when we think we know where the journey is headed, a twist sends us reeling and questioning everything. If you enjoyed other works by the authors mentioned, you'll find yourself immersed in this provocative and emotional collection.

Poetry those who feel life's complexities.

. . .

'Let's cry, and then smile together.
As time's tides offer up words to shore.
These feet touching sands,
as our minds dance with crumbling
white horses, that crash fury-filled waves
with the deep blue inks of our
untempered selves.'

PRAISE FOR WALKING TOWARDS THE NOISE

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and beautiful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2022This is my first full delve into Bowie's poetry and I wasn't disappointed. I'm no stranger to Bowie's fiction so enjoyed to see that blend of dark beauty in his poetical writing explored further. Walking Towards The Noise resonates greatly with my own assessment of the last couple years and the inevitable fallout from Covid. The personal accounts Bowie shares also gift a glimmer into the mind of this fantastic writer. I was rocked with emotion with how relatable Tooth Fairy was and look forward to sharing this with those closest to me. Highly recommend!

VINE VOICE
5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening collection for everyone.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 September 2022The subtitle for the collection is Poems for those Who Feel Life's Complexities and it is apt for what the collection delivers upon looking back at the past couple of years Covid related activities which seem old hat when faced with the latest crisis this country has limped towards all the while shrugging not believing itself culpable or responsible.

That isn't all this is about as Bowie delves into childhood throughout the collection two looking at those instances from youth that stick to you and make you question full grown decision making and reactions.

There are everyman types of poems and poems about specific feelings and instances from the author's life and coalesces into an enlightening collection that I am sure I will look to digest again in short order.
