A Life Captured in Rhyme

Rooted in a Dream of Immortality

The title Bury Me in 1965 reflects Frith’s aspiration to immortalise his poetry in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), commissioned in 1965—a symbol of enduring artistry. The collection took shape in 2022, born from raw notes jotted on Google Keep following the release of Forest Collection I for free download in late 2021 and the completion of his third music tape, December 13. Under pressure to expand his creative output, Frith briefly worked as a pipe-casting factory worker in Nigeria, only to face dismissal without pay after a week. Back at his parents’ home, he channelled this experience into poetic chapters shared on X, tackling themes like favouritism and tribalism that struck a chord with readers for their raw authenticity.

A Narrative of Depth and Dedication

Published in 2023 under Forest Crib Books, an imprint of Frith Nightswan Publishers, Bury Me in 1965 spans three parts with ten chapters—several exceeding a hundred lines—complemented by two photo album chapters. This structure marks Frith’s emergence as a long-form narrative poet, crafting stories that unfold with cinematic depth. Dedicated to Kathy Hilton and Queen Letizia of Spain, the collection also acknowledges luminaries who have supported Frith’s journey, including The Prince and Princess of Wales, John Gwynne, Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys, Genesis Ali Dean, Zara Larsson, and Miley Cyrus, weaving their influence into a broader narrative of connection and inspiration.

A Cultural Milestone

Bury Me in 1965 has captivated readers with its heartfelt storytelling and lyrical power. Initially shared on X, its chapters sparked a deep connection with audiences who saw their own struggles reflected in Frith’s candid exploration of societal issues. From Hollywood to Nigeria, the collection’s universal themes have resonated widely, cementing Frith’s reputation as a poet who bridges personal and collective experiences. Readers eagerly await a sequel to continue this narrative, though Frith’s creative team has yet to approve another long-form work. His vision for future epics, however, remains a beacon of hope.
