Overview

'For anyone who's felt alone surrounded by people, sacrificed too much, questioned love, or survived through art-these poems speak the unspeakable. A debut collection of philosophical, formally innovative verse.' These interconnected poems spiral through six territories: loneliness, sacrifice, belonging, love, poetry, and god complex. They ask: What happens when language tries to heal what it has wounded? You'll recognize your own story here. The isolation. The impossible choices. The doubt about whether connection is real. The intoxication and wordplay that kept you alive. The suspicion that your voice doesn't matter. Written with brutal honesty and formal precision, this book doesn't promise healing. It acknowledges that the deepest poetry emerges from places we're told not to speak about. Expect fragmentation, philosophical questioning without neat conclusions, and metapoetry that interrogates language itself. The formal dimension matters. These poems employ spare minimalism, elaborate narrative, fragmentation, and precision-enacting their thematic arguments through structure. Formally sophisticated and thematically ambitious, these poems reward multiple readings. First, encounter the emotional impact. Then notice how form enacts meaning. Finally, sit with the philosophical questions about authenticity and human connection. For readers of Ocean Vuong, Anne Carson, and Terrance Hayes. For anyone in conversation with Emily Dickinson's legacy of speaking the unspeakable.
