This Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time: 2026 Poetry Collection


Overview

This Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time Poetry Collection by Karl W Newton Raw. Reflective. Relentlessly honest. This Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time is a powerful collection of modern poetry from Karl W Newton, blending spoken word, slam poetry, and confessional verse into a deeply personal journey through love, loss, addiction, recovery, family, mental health, and the quiet moments that shape who we become. Written in four-line stanzas that rhyme and flow, these poems feel made to be read aloud-but hit just as hard on the page. Newton's voice is unmistakably human: vulnerable without self-pity, funny without cheap punchlines, and honest without apology. From childhood memories and family kitchens, to late-night baths filled with music and reflection... From destructive choices that felt right at the time, to moments of clarity that arrive when everything finally goes quiet... This collection captures the mess, beauty, regret, hope, and resilience of real life. Perfect for readers who love: Modern poetry & spoken word Slam poetry and performance verse Mental health & recovery poetry Love poems that aren't clichéd Poetry about addiction, healing & growth British poets with a raw, authentic voice Fans of contemporary poetry collections This book is for anyone who's ever looked back at their life and thought: ""Yeah... that seemed like a good idea at the time."" Whether you're discovering poetry for the first time or already love collections that cut straight to the bone, This Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time is a book that will stay with you long after the final page.
