Book Review: Fictitiously Nonfiction by Repus

Some books don’t just tell a story—they make you feel it. Fictitiously Nonfiction by Repus is one such collection, a deeply introspective and unfiltered exploration of life’s struggles, grief, addiction, and the long road to self-discovery. Through raw, evocative poetry, Repus brings readers into his world, one where pain lingers, hope flickers, and the past refuses to be forgotten.

"Pain, it seems, shall sometimes never leave

and muscle memory is all that remains.

The past sticks with us in so many ways,

and as we forgive, we cannot ever forget

the reasons behind those scarring events."

Poems like Cooling Blood and To Ashes, to Dust hit hard, while Serenity and Eternity’s Ripple offer glimpses of hope. It’s not a neat or easy journey, but it’s real. If you’re someone who has ever felt lost, broken, or weighed down by your past, Fictitiously Nonfiction will speak to you. It’s not an easy read, but it’s an important one—a poetic journey through suffering, survival, and the unrelenting fight to find meaning in it all.
