Jake is a spoken word poet and a future children's book author. He describes his work as 'unpolished poetry' and uses straightforward relatable language, which makes his work accessible and engaging for a wide audience. His poems examine universal themes of time, loss and the search for meaning, with a sprinkling of humour to keep things light. Jake has a profound understanding of vulnerability, where he paints vivid portraits of life's small but defining moments. He drops his audience into the middle of an experience. His focus on isolation, repetition and blurred realities creates a nuanced portrayal of mental instability. His comedy poems remind us that he is able to laugh at it all as well. Jake captures the fragility of the human psyche and the fine line between sanity and madness.
