"Primitive Beauty: Author's Sketchbook"

Available in EPUB and MOBI formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

In the unguarded notebooks of J.S. Nathaniel, poetry bleeds into sketch, confession becomes craft, and the raw architecture of creation is laid bare. This is not poetry for the faint of heart. It’s the moment before revision, before polish, before the artist knows what they’re making, when the only truth is uncertainty. This book is for readers who feel too much, think too deeply, or have learned to keep parts of themselves quiet. For writers who want to see how work actually begins. For anyone tired of art that pretends not to bleed. Reading Primitive Beauty feels less like consuming a book and more like finding someone else’s notebook open on the table and realizing parts of it could have been yours. If you’re looking for certainty, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for honesty, stay. The author sits with the story until it tells the truth.
