Since its release as a small mixed-media podcast, DKMH has topped charts all over the internet. Written and produced by Stranger Things star Dacre Montgomery, the DKMH platform is expanding to print. This exciting debut collection of poetry and prose is an analysis of ego, love, anger, and anxiety. Each poem investigates our individual driving forces and how experiences shape us into the humans we are, deeply personal yet strangely familiar and universal. Consumable on a variety of platforms, DKMH is a constant battle between themes that explore the biggest life questions: who are we, why are we, and what drives us?

My entire life I have felt fragile. Overexposed, especially as a child.

If I'd known who the poet was, I might have been reluctant to read this collection. Thankfully, ignorance is bliss and I went into this with zero expectations. I enjoyed this poetry collection. There is a long introduction section with a playlist which I skipped over and don't feel was needed. I just wanted to read the poems. DKMH contains about half a dozen long poems broken into smaller chunks and each with a different theme. The themes are universal to poetry; first love, identity and the like. The language used is quite vivid and I enjoyed the flow of the poems and imagery. I must have to check out the podcast now.
