‘Daydreaming the Idyll’, the first collection of poems by Ryan Victor is a book about love, despair, imagery and chaos. The poet uses a wide range of subjects to express his feelings and convey his perspective across to the reader. The tone and lyric of his poems varies considerably as they have been written over a span of almost ten years and incorporate an array of writing styles. The poet uses imagery from nature widely and his writings on despair come from deep personal strata.
