Poetic Surds

Poetic Surds is a collection of bold poems written by 15 year old Micah Dolphy who describes herself as, “an irrational but understandable figure.”

Poetic Surds delves deep into the layers of loss, mental health, self-perception and self-love. She, like a conduit, conveys the message that no matter what we go through, we are never alone and that we are all undergoing different levels of mental evolution.

Through her poetry, Micah aims to soothe all, provide understanding, and comfort those who believe they experience life alone. Whilst these poems may cause confusion, she asks the question, “How can one evolve into a complex living organism reading what is easy to absorb?”
