Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This book was written over a period of quiet accumulation rather than a single defining moment. The poemsemerged from repetition-of thought, of longing, of memory-and from the sense that certain emotions, onceleft unnamed, continue to return in new forms. Much of the writing took place during a formative period ofbecoming, when life felt unresolved and still in motion. The work is shaped by questions of absence and attention: what it means to be seen, to be addressed, and toremain unanswered. Many of the poems orbit a second person, a "you" that functions less as an individual andmore as a site of projection, expectation, and withheld response. Through this address, the poems examine howdesire settles into the body, how memory lingers, and how language attempts to hold what cannot be resolved.Rather than offering closure, the book traces emotional residue. Written from the cusp of becoming, the poemsremain attentive to what is unfinished and in flux. Writing becomes an act of sincerity and preservation, a way ofnaming experiences as they are lived, without certainty of outcome or resolution. In this sense, the work hopes to offer recognition rather than instruction. While each human experiencerendered here is singular, the emotions that shape them are shared. The book is written with the belief that noone is alone in their suffering, even when it feels isolating, and that there is quiet solace in recognizing one's owntruths reflected-however briefly-in the language of another.
