The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.
And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.
THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is out now.
THANK YOU @taylorswift FOR THIS MASTERPIECE!
My favourite musical style and vibe. So torturing, yet peaceful.
Forever inspired by your lyrics to write my own poems, to let loose my imagination and use metaphors. Thank you for that!
Never before I could say an album is my favourite in so short time after release (maybe only Folklore and Evermore), as I need time to listen to all melodies and read all lyrics, before I can claim it my favourite, but for TTPD I can already. You hit right in the target of my favourite things: admirable, beautiful, meaningful poems and enchanting, calm melodies.
Even though the story isn’t yours anymore, I am so thankful it is ours, so thankful you shared it.
Thank you, my favourite poet @taylorswift 🤍
