Written on either side of the author's mother's passing in December 2024, the book is divided into two parts: poems written before the loss, and poems written after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first half captures a decade marked by internal dissonance-awkward encounters, spiraling thoughts, strange introspections, and a restless search for meaning. These poems are sharp-edged, observational, sometimes funny, sometimes adrift. They explore identity and isolation through moments that feel small but ring true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second half turns inward, toward grief-not as spectacle, but as texture. The poems live in domestic spaces and inherited rituals: crossword puzzles, cigarettes, macaroni salad, road trips, and offhand comments that now feel sacred. There's no big revelation-just the quiet presence of what remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNamed after how the author's mother took her coffee, \u003ci\u003ehalf \u0026amp; half\u003c\/i\u003e is about the space between things: between what was and what changed, between humor and heartbreak, between detachment and devotion. It's a book that doesn't seek resolution so much as reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe debut collection from writer, musician, and performer Conor, \u003ci\u003ehalf \u0026amp; half\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate, lyrical offering for anyone who's lived through loss-or is still learning how to carry it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Conor Garrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798281150828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.12d","brand":"Conor Garrison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852518764799,"sku":"9798281150828","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/half-half-conor-garrison-9798281150828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
