Richard Was Really Scared is a short, introspective poetry collection that broaches love, self-loathing, and regret. While fear is typically approached via external threat, author Richard A. Page explores it as an internal conflict through use of free verse, prose, and even screenplay. He doesn't offer any remedies to angst or dismay in this debut collection, but instead, supplies companionship by exposure to his own.
